Day 1 - Issues in the airport, seems as if there were some security protocol that I needed to go through that did not happen. Instead of my original flight out of Newark, I was rerouted to Kennedy airport. I think this worked out for the best anyway. It did cause a bit of a hectic start but I was able to join two other members of the GE Africa project team, Dapo and Shanique who were flying out on that flight. Travel to Kennedy was uneventful, had a car come pick me up, although the driver was very interesting. You just don't know who you will draw when you call for a taxi. Makes you wonder if taxi-cab confessions was actually started by the passenger to the driver. Got upgraded on the flight to an exit row by Giselle and another attendant from KLM. That upgrade made the first leg of my trip much more bearable. Must fly business class if I am to do this again, if not for legroom alone. We went out our first night in Accra, compliments of Frank. It was a clown car adventure with how many people we could load into a corolla. Found ourselves travelling to 3 different clubs and finishing out the night at "Jokers" which was interesting in itself. Lots of looks as the foreigners in the establishment even though we look like everyone else.
