Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

Decisions, Decisions

It is finally starting to register with me that we are flying to Africa soon!! Eddie spoke with our travel agent last week and we have several flight options to choose from...of course most of the options include MANY hours on an airplane! I think there's only one involving flying about 8 hours, having a layover, and flying the other 9 hours. The other options are flying approximately 15 1/2 hours to Dubai, then to Addis...or flying straight from U.S. to Addis with one stop in Rome for refueling. We aren't sure what we are doing yet, so please keep us in your prayers as we decide. We've got to figure out what's best for us since we are taking the boys and since I don't like planes! We'll be making a decision in the next few days. Ethiopia, here we come!!

YEAH! You are so close!!! I am so excited for you. We ended up choosing to go the Dubai route. We liked that we were able to sleep in a hotel and have a good nights sleep before going to get our sweet pea in the morning. The way back was not so fun though.

Travel tip: Xanax and Ambien (did I say that out loud? I was not able to do this on the way back with the baby obviously but it made the trip there nice.)
