One of the big things on my “to do” list has been to book my plane tickets to Houston, TX, where I will meet up with the team and leave for Africa.
This morning, goal accomplished!
I will be flying out of Indianapolis on the afternoon of Saturday, July 17th and my journey will begin. From there, I will land in Houston, stay overnight with someone from Aid Sudan, and then join my team on Sunday. We will fly, as a team, on Emirates Airlines (look them up…ah-mazing) to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We have a lengthy layover in Dubai, so we might do a tour of the city while we’re there, because how often will we be in Dubai in our futures? From Dubai, we will fly to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, change planes, and then fly on to Entebbe, Uganda. In Entebbe, we will finally get our feet on solid ground, travel to Kampala, Uganda, and stay overnight. On Wednesday, July 21st, we will board a chartered plane and fly into Nasir, Sudan.
Wow! It will be a packed few days from the time I leave Indianapolis on the 17th! I am so excited to have the tickets purchased and to have things really coming together!
