We're Off

We’re Off!

In less than 24 hours, Meg and I are off by bus to Buffalo where we’ll take to the air for our marathon 2 day journey to Entebbe. It’s the milk run of air travel: Buffalo – Chicago – London – Dubai - Entebbe! Emma follows on Friday, jumping off from the U.S. eastern seaboard to Addis Ababa and then Entebbe. Amazingly, we all get there within one hour of each other!

Packing and last minute details are taking up most of our last days in Canada. Things like watch batteries and emergency supplies of duct tape seem to take on enormous significance. More importantly, getting enough $US in 50’s and 100’s newer than 2000 and making sure our immunizations are well documented have been our main focus.

We’d like to thank everyone who donated school supplies and books for us to take to support the Ugandan school system. Each item will help.

The next time you hear from us, picture us on the shores of Lake Victoria, slightly jet-lagged but enjoyed the warm, humid African air.
