our first glitch

It's a wonderful, sunny day here in Victoria but there's a small cloud on the horizon. Last night I checked into BA to get a boarding pass: no second leg London-Nairobi showing. Please don't tell us we have to retrieve our luggage in London where we have an overnight because of the flight schedule!
Another shock: our baggage limit for each of us is 3 bags at 51 lbs, not the 70lbs we were told. So we were up at 6 am this morning repacking.
Fortunately we have spare weight to spread around, but our one bag reserved for the overnight in Nairobi now contains other stuff.
The BC Ferries have been experiencing delays because of engine problems, so that hurdle remains to be tackled as we leave for Vancouver at noon.
Why would we expect it to be easy? We left for our first six months in Kenya on Sept 14, 2001 on one of the first flights rescheduled. It can't get worse than that!
