Stuck in Dar es Salaam, and forced into the life of luxury

Typically, there are two airlines, Precision Air and Air Tanzania, that fly daily to and from Kigoma. However, Air Tanzania has temporarily run out of fuel, and thus Precision Air has acquired all their passengers. Which resulted in an unexpected four day delay in Dar, as the earliest available tickets were for Tuesday. Thus, a one day stay with the incredibly nice, welcoming, generous (and unfairly attractive) Stoner famiy- Molly, Robert, daughter Rose and poodle Tess- turned into a 4 day taste of the high life. The Stoners have been in Tanzania working for the Clinton Foundation's Climate Change Initiative since about July, and previously worked were stationed in Malawi. Matt and I have agreed that their lives are what we one day hope to replicate. Pictures will be added shortly, and will hopefully do justice to the level of comfort provided for us, but in short they live in a beautiful, equatorial villa with a large porch and balconies, with views of the Indian ocean and a constant sea breeze. We expect it will be months before we enjoy this level of luxury, wifi, electricity, running water, and english conversations again.
