Change of Plans

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Well it won’t be the last time we change some plans.

We arrived in Namibia relatively on time. (Amazing). The flight on Air Namibia from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Windhoek, Namibia was on a smaller twin turbo prop. Nice plane but small for sure. So small that the co-pilot handed out meals, newspapers and flew. He was a young guy and accessable so I quickly struck up a conversation with him regarding flying. It’s great how fast pilots can become friendly with each other. The problem was that the plane could not hold all the passengers and an even smaller one was flown in to take the four odd left overs. We didn’t want the really small plane. After befriending him, he took us onboard first and gave us the best seats possible. When we landed, he instructed the other passengeres to stay put while we got off first. It pays to be nice to people, and we have had the privilege a lot of kindness already.
