I'm growing nervous.....

Granddaughter from adopted white daughter is scheduled to depart for Kenya May 7 for her 10 day visit. Just another thing I have to worry about. She and classmates are supposed to have a pretty good security detail.

Granddaughter and pals have been instructed to bring along $250 for spending money. I gave her $300 of the world's first decimal/metric currency (US dollars). I wish she were staying just 5 days.

Kenya has Burger Kings, KFCs but no McDonalds.

SB, you did not solicit advice so please don't be offended. Could I suggest that your granddaughter separate her money into 3-separate bundles and carry them in different places. One other tip I utilized for 30-years traveling is to get an expired credit card & wrap 5-6 $1 with an $20 on the outside and put a rubber band around the whole thing.

The rubber band makes it harder to get pick-pocketed If, God forbid, she has an incident, suggest that she take out the fake wad, show it to the bad guy/girl and simply drop it at their feet. As soon as they look/bend down, hit the gas and scream to high heaven.

It is also best to not include valuables in checked luggage & to hold them in sight at X-ray/body scanner actions going to the gate.

Hope they have a great trip.

The little Kenya girls first request is to touch granddaughter's hair. The little native girls strongly admire the hair of European Caucasian women. Granddaughter from our adopted daughter has blonde hair.

So a lot of Joe Bidens in Kenya?
