Really?\u00a0 That doesn’t make sense.\u00a0 Maybe not normally, but in Congo this month it does.\u00a0 To return after our US vacation we\u00a0fly commercial from Kinshasa to Gemena.\u00a0 So we bought a ticket on Hewa Bora airlines only to have them be shut down by the government following the July 8 crash in Kisangani.\u00a0 Then we bought a CAA ticket, but there was no space on that flight for the first week we were here.\u00a0 So we also bought a ticket on Gomair, an airline that just startyed flying up to Gemena.\u00a0 They have serviced eastern Congo for some time.\u00a0 We were scheduled to go today, July 27.\u00a0 But last night we learned that today’s flight was cancelled for a small problem with the plane.\u00a0 The word today is that maybe this will be solved so the flight can go Saturday.\u00a0 If not we are confirmed on the CAA flight on Sunday.\u00a0 So indeed 1 Hewa Bora ticket plus 1 CAA ticket plus 1 Gomair ticket will equal, eventually, one flight back to Gemena.<\/p>\n
To the question whether we can get any refunds on the unused tickets?\u00a0 I kind of doubt it on Hewa Bora.\u00a0 We’ll see what happens with them.\u00a0 On the others we can change the date of the ticket and still use it so thankfully we aren’t out that money too.\u00a0 Life in Africa at times.<\/p>\n
We are thankful that the MPH (Methodist-Presbyterian Hostel) where we are staying has place for us through when we project to leave.\u00a0 Having to switch locations would be a pain.\u00a0 This is a good environment with different guests through here, good food and good internet.\u00a0 Thanks Lord for this provision.<\/p>\n
