We 25 Ghanians (I have defected) are chillin' today at this remote Dulles Hilton but we are no longer remarkable - we are sharing the hotel with a huge conference of dapper black Church of Christ members. 6 of our boys slept on cots in a small conference room last night as rooms are at a premium. This morning I pulled out all our tickets to double check them and noticed we depart Sunday NOT Monday (in spite of what Delta Rahul told me one hundred times). This is good news to all, but I don't recommend Delta!
I called a 12:30 meeting of the kids with strict instructions to the likely leaders to get everyone there. When I showed up at 12:30 only 10 were there. I stormed out in a huff and when I returned at 1 they were meekly all present. I then informed them they were no longer onGhana time, they were now on "Jackie Time". Sergeant-like, I said, "What's that time? The troops responded, "Jackie Time!"
Plan for the day per the troops request: pool, fitness center, pizza dinner and Hasta La Vista party til 10:45. Wake up calls tomorrow are 4:30 am, depart hotel 6:30 am and start our flights at 12:30 pm. Good news is that we now fly KLM, the royal Dutch airlines (love KLM,) and the kids get to say they have been to Amsterdam, if only to the airport.
Sgt. Jackie
