FRIDAY/SATURDAY--FEBRUARY 18/19, 2011

My flights from Indianapolis to Detroit, Detroit to Amsterdam, and Amsterdam to Nairobi were uneventful except for some turbulence from Detroit to Amsterdam.  Although my flights were booked with the travel agent at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, their partner airline is Delta.  So, from Indianapolis to Amsterdam, I really flew by Delta.  All of those flights were rather full.  The 747 KLM Airline plane from Amsterdam to Nairobi had 380 passengers with not an empty seat.  In Nairobi we needed to go through customs which took over an hour with us standing in line in the hot non air-conditioned airport waiting to be checked through by very few customs workers.  There were also three other flights landing near that time whose passengers also needed to clear customs.  The food service was exceptional on each of the flights with snacks, beverages, or meals offered every two or three hours.  Six of our team of nine are from Oregon and are acquainted.  Three of us are from Indiana.
