1) Jon arrived unscathed. 2)His baggage? Taking a mini break in Addis, we presume. 3) The shipment? Well, I'll let the shippers speak for themselves. I quote:
"Am really sorry not being able to deliver you as scheduled this afternoon. As Allan told you on the phone, the company handling your crate in Kanengo has 2 forklifts, a big one and a smaller one. As their big one was down, they decided to use their smaller one which could not lift it.
Therefore as informed by Allan, we could have delivered you in offloading the crates in Kanengo and to bring the boxes loose at your place. But this is not what you paid for. You deserve to be delivered properly. Hopefully, according to them, the big forklift should be fixed tomorrow."
As Jon contemplates living for the next 3 days in the clothes on his back, I hope he records this as a lesson learned: I may be prone to exaggeration, but I can't make all this up!
Jon: You're welcome to Malawi!
So glad to hear that Jon made it safely to Malawi! Here's hoping his luggage arrives soon.
ReplyDelete"Reunited and it feels so good!" You are lucky you didn't have to hear me sing that as Allison did.
ReplyDeleteWho needs stuff anyway? You can live off the land...oh wait, Jon's not an Eagle Scout...never mind.
Plant update...they are good. Allison took most of them so they are safe from black thumb! Mike and Allison
