So today we got home!!!! It was a journey just getting home. We showed up to the airport 3 hours early but they claimed that they did not have Elliott's ticket. After 3 phones call to Aaron, we figured out that they had acutally only reserved his ticket, but we got it figured out and they finally got his ticket and boarding pass.
After we got through with this, then we had to go through immigration to leave Uganda, they guy that was checking passports was not wanting to let me out of the country since he said my visa was only for 30 days. However, I told him that it was for 3 months and that was the time that we told them when we first entered the country. Elliott was throwing a fit a this point and the guy tried to help, but only made it worse, so he stamped Elliott's and my passport and just told us to move along. So we had to hurry and rush to the gate and we were the last ones to get on the plane.
