adventure to be had

Luggage stilll enjoying the adventure as  it is not arrived as of yet.

I am not surprised it is lost and perhaps you will not be either when you read about my flights. 

My itinery was leaving Toronto at 530 pm on Tuesday Nov. 18 to Amsterdam on KLM with a 7 hour lay over, leaving Amsterdam at 1354 on Wednesday Nov. 19 to Accra on KLM arriving Accra at 2005. 

The reality was a little different.

Toronto to Amsterdam went as scheduled. I went into the KLM lounge for the lay over. I met someone whose name was Betty, she was born on a Friday like I was and lives in Hamilton as I do. We both waited in the lounge, my name was called and since we were both going to Accra,I thought her name would be called next. It was not.   I travel 'needs assistance' which means I am moved in a wheel chair from place to place in the airport. I get to the next gate and the plane is designed going to Paris. I ask at the desk why I am at that place and I am told my flight to Accra was cancelled. WHAT !!!!!!!

I am now booked on a flight to Paris, then on to Casa Blanca then on to Accra. If this is not what I want, it will be two day to wait for a direct flight to Accra. ???????? What the H... is going on? I had originally bought an upgrade ticket to Economy Plus. but to Paris I was in Economy with a window seat. (my brace on my right leg was next to the window) 

The lay over in Paris was a couple of hours. 

My flight from Paris to Casa Blanca on Royal Air Moroc was over 3 hours and my seat was changed to an Economy aisle. 

The lay over in Casa Blanca was 4.5 hours. Bathrooms at the far end of the terminal. No one to push the wheelchair and too far to walk.

The flight from Casa Blanca to Accra on Royal Air Moroc on Thursday Nov. 20 at 505 am was less that 4 hours.  I would not recommend this air lline.

I get through Immigration and wait for my bags, and wait for my bags and wait for my bags. They did not arrive. Three hours waiting then to fill out form requesting the bags.

Then the trip to Wiawso, 5 hours by bus to Kumasi and 3 hours from Kumasi to Wiawso by car arriving to my house 10 pm on Nov.20.

A little weary to say the least, eat some rice and fall into bed.

again I say, I am fine, bags still lost or travelling.  Church tomorrow and back into the groove. 

All is well that ends well. 

AT AIRPORT

 The  journey is starting. I just had a pedicure, blue nails now. excited to get back to the land of palms and great friends. 

a little late

 I am apologizing for not ending my time in Ghana on my blog. Excuses include no internet the last week, then once back I got caught up with the Canadian life, appts, shopping in stores, opening up the cottage and just blizzing out with TV that I do not see in Ghama.  Again sorry sorry, but please note that I have bought my out of country health insurance for next year so I will be back on line mid November for the Ghana adventure to continue. Thanks to all who follow me and my escapades on this blog. 🙇

INTERNET

 I just need to say the the trouble getting on the internet has been a big pain. I try several times in an evening and I can get on using my phone but not the computer, something about different band widths or ????. I really do not understand the whole thing but it is very frustrating to say the least.
