Onto Canada

After the Seychelles, we had a night in Nairobi before embarking on a long flight home via Dubai. We showed up at the airport at 5am, with plenty of time to make our 7am departure. Going to the check-in desk, the lady looked at our itinerary and said "Oh, we are not flying to Dubai today. Our flight was cancelled." It was deja vu all over again, without a single flight on our trip going according to plan! Thankfully after 3 hours of back and forth and talking to the Kenya Airways supervisor, we were put on an 11pm flight to Amsterdam, making our original connection to San Francisco as planned! Once again, we originally had a pretty crappy flight schedule and it worked out for the better! On top of that, since we now had another day to spend in Nairobi, they put us up at a fancy 5-star hotel for the day, with 3-meals provided at their awesome buffet! We were also able to go to the Giraffe Centre, something we had planned but weren't able to do before the Seychelles due to the flight changes. A win-win!
