1st day of work . . . .

No fun pictures to accompany this post. Today has been all about work.

My travels went as planned and I managed to get 5 or 6 hours of sleep on the flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi and I felt reasonably refreshed when I landed at 7 AM. Cleared customs and found my luggage without any troubles and our driver (and my friend) Jasan was there to meet me and take me to my hotel.

I was told that I had about 2 hours until Jasan would come back to the hotel to take the 7 of us from the US to work. I had a light breakfast with a few of my colleagues and then went up to my room to unpack and take a shower. It felt good to get out those clothes I had been wearing for the last 40 hours.

Not much to tell you about work, except that there was plenty to go around. Here it is now, 6:30 PM and we're all still here, going strong. As usual, we're behind on getting the questions from our editorial staff, but as usual, we'll handle it with no problems.

Safe and sound here on the ground in Nairobi, I'll post more when I have more to say.
