Welcome to the Squeeze Inn
 Is it possible to get 11 adults and almost 1,500 pounds of luggage in a hotel shuttle van that only has three bench seats? This question was put to the test last night and I can report that apparently it is, if you bury every lap and crevice with luggage and sit uncomfortably motionless for a short 5-minute commute to the airport's Sleep Inn hotel.
While I’ve only heard stories of the unpaved and armed two-hour roadtrip to come from Abuja to Jos, perhaps the trip to the Sleep Inn is a gentle reminder that when you feel like you may be in a tight spot, the squeeze could be a lot worse. But I hope things aren't that much worse in Abuja....more to come....
