Doors Wide Shut
Day 1: I’m going to Zanzibar, day 2: I’m Not going to Zanzibar, Day 3: I’m going to Zanzibar, day 4: I’m not going anymore …
Since I’ve been here, I’ve not gone on any real expeditions. The opportunity arose to go to Tanzania, and I really wanted to go, but it really seemed like everything’s worked for me and against me both at the same time…
When everything was in place I was ready to go, I found out my plane ticket switch went under—Courtney Travel was going to charge me 1200 US dollars to change my dates to 10 days earlier. I do need to return home earlier to get some things put into place w/ college. After much phone calling, I was able to get the ticket change for 320 dollars, by then the Zanzibar team had left already, I went to bed with no intention of getting to Zanzibar, the next day I was presented the opportunity to go with another girl who missed the bus earlier. So we went to the airport, where I finalized switching my flight days and reserved a flight from Lusaka to ‘Dar’, after that we hopped a ride with a missionary couple who were on their way to Lusaka (a 7 hr drive), half way there, the other girl got a phone call saying she wont be able to go, shortly after I got a phone call from Zambian Airlines stating that my debit card was frozen from rebooking the other flight with delta, and for that reason, was not authorized to buy the ticket. We told the couple to drop us off at the next bus stop—they did, and we road home…
