I took my voice recorder with me to Ethiopia and am just now (3 months later) getting around to listening to what I recorded and writing it down. Some of it may not be interesting at all, but it's part of our journey and I want to make sure it's documented.
"It is now sometime after 6:00, which would be sometime after 5:00 back home. We are in the plane on the way to Frankfurt, Germany. We are having some detours. There's some storm over the Atlantic Ocean and we can't find airspace, so we're headed up toward NY for no apparent reason. This plane is the most cramped plane I have ever seen in my entire life. The guy in front of me has laid his seat back and literally my knees are jammed in the seat...so, uh, this should be a very encouraging 9 hours. I'm trying real hard to stay positive, trying to keep my eye on the long term goal. We're going to get the boys, and whatever it takes to get there, we'll do, so...
Anyway, our trip so far has been pretty uneventful. We talked to Mom and Kara for the first time in DC, probably won't talk to anyone on the phone again until we get back to DC, uh next Saturday the 22nd with the boys in tow. I will send emails as soon as I can, aside from that, I'm listening to some Norah Jones and I'm going to try to get some rest, so I'll talk to you some more later!"
