Your former glories, and all the stories, dragged and washed with eager hands
Sitting in the Nairobi airport en route to the Comoros again. What do you know, Nairobi is actually lovely and awesome instead of a hellhole of misery if you listen to your travel agent when she says "You've got an overnight layover in Nairobi, do you want me to book a hotel in town?" Either I'm getting too old to sleep slumped over my luggage on an airport bench, or it just isn't romantic and adventurous to do so when you're traveling for work and have to be compos mentis for meetings later in the day.
In any case, this trip should be sliiiightly more relaxed than last time I was in the Comoros, which is not a high bar to reach considering I was working twelve-hour days six days a week last time and only even made it into town once or twice. Maybe I'll be able to see the island a bit this time! Go snorkeling! See the world's largest species of fruit bat! Even go up the volcano and peer inside! (Cue nervous fidgeting from the side of my brain that still has "Cities in Dust" playing on infinite loop, but shush, it's a runny volcano, not a splodey volcano like Pompeii's.) Or at least, you know, go wandering around the old medina and get hopelessly turned around and get sick from street food, that'd be fun too.
