Arrived!

We arrived at Kotoka International Airport a few hours ago.  Our departure from NY was delayed an hour or so as the plane was full and evidently the baggage compartment was “fuller”.  Pilot kept us up to date with the ground crew trueing to balance the load and weight for take off - they got it right.

We arrived to a brand new international terminal!!  Very impressive!  As nice as any terminal in the US.  Efficient, air conditioned and lots of people to assist with information and directions.  Passport control was simple(r) than in years past and the baggage area is spacious and automated....except for some reason one of our trunks made it out and the other was “lost”.  I knew it was on the plane from the information on the Delta app.  We waited an hour until all the bags were up and out...then low and behold with the help of a few USD...the othe trunk materialized.  As a buddy of mine always says - “everybody has to eat”.  Got the trunk - no worries.

Charles Koranteng and Kwami (driver) were outside waiting for us.  Even the wait area outside is nice.

We are resting this afternoon at GILBT House where we have stayed before many times while in Accra.
