After numerous attempts to piece together my own arrangements to get to Kigali, I finally gave up and let AAA do it for me. The woman who helped me had never heard of Kigali (many people haven't). After confirming that Rwanda is in Africa, she spent a lot of time with me investigating various possibilities for getting there and back, one of which cost $8500 for coach! It's not easy to get there from here. Eventually we found flights that I could live with (i.e., without too many stops) at a price that didn't make me sick to my stomach. Going over, I'll fly direct from Cincinnati to Paris. After spending the day in Paris, I'll go on an overnight flight to Nairobi, then from there to Kigali. On the way home, I'll go through Johannesburg (with an inexplicable stop in Bujumbura, which is probably a half-hour flight from Kigali) and Atlanta. I'll be leaving on January 29 and getting to Rwanda on January 31. I'll leave Rwanda on March 5 and get home on March 6.

One night in Paris.
35 nights in Kigali.
Couldn't it be the other way around?
Parisians need help, too!
I do not judge you, except to say that you are mad.

If you think of Kigali as the Paris of Africa, I don't seem so mad.
