Where’s Kelci?

Okay, before you freak out, it’s not as bad as it might sound. Now, on with the story… After going through customs in London, we purchased a group day ticket on the Tube (the name of their train/subway) to see the sights in downtown London. Just by chance, our group ended up in three different cars of one train. Terry, Dave, Andi, and Rachelle were in a car and Kelci was in one of the other cars with other team members. The groups could see each other but could not communicate. Our plan before we left the train station was to get off at the Picadilly Circus stop and go from there. For reasons unimportant now, the other two groups unexpectedly got off two stops early – with Kelci! Terry, Dave, Andi, and Rachelle did not realize it in time and remained on the train! Oops. So there they were waving at us while we were staring out at them. There was a brief freak out period by an individual not to be named. We also realized that Terry had Kelci’s ticket to get out of the turnstile at the train stop. Double oops. There were several ways we could have hooked up but it just wasn’t in the cards. So, both groups went about their sightseeing always watchful for the other group. We never hooked up again until we all got back to the airport; reunited once again. So, the headcount remains 23 as we prepare for the last leg of our trip – Uganda.

Dave - I bet I know who freaked out! I hope your head-count stays the same from this point forward.

Glad I read this after the fact and you had reconnected with Kelci.
