DC to Ethiopia
Woke up around 6 after a night of in-and-out sleeping secondary to a lot of thinking, hopped into the shower, got dressed for the flight, and joined everyone downstairs for some fantastic breakfast. Quickly after, we prepared to leave for the airport. Because basically everyone at the hotel was trying to get to the airport for the 12:00 flight to Ethiopia, there was limited time and shuttle availability. To help us out, the hotel paid for a taxi to take a few of us on what may have been the most frightening taxi ride of my life, but hey—I am on the plane to Ethiopia as I type this, so guess who survived?! J (Jill, Kara, and Lauren survived with me on that one). Anyhow, we got to the airport and got in a really long line to check in, and it wasn’t long til we were through security and on to our gate. I sat with Tessa on this flight—much to her delight, as she had been having bad luck with her seating arrangements so far on the trip. She and I have yet to sleep and have currently been on the plane for like five hours. That is okay. I have watched several movies, listened to some rockin tunes, and enjoyed a great meal so far. They have shut down the lights and drawn the shades. Going to see about resting. Resting did NOT occur on 12 hour flight to Ethiopia. Tessa and I got up frequently and I was sure to drink lots of water. Anyhow, I am cutting this short now. The ride from Ethiopia to Zimbabwe to Zambia wasn’t bad—met some fun people maybe I will talk about later. And ask me about my “I’m in Africa now” moment sometime. Totally great.
