thursday night

Arrived in Abuja the capital of Nigeria with no troubles. Met up with the rest of the team and we are staying at a hotel tonight before going to Kaduna tomorrow. Will get some more lines out later but I am tired and need some rest after all the flying.....stay tunned!!!

Tuesday night...

After many weigh-ins we finally got the bags pack to the limit of 50 lbs. Thanks to a digital scale from Doris's neighbor we feel certain on the weights. In order to take all the important stuff, my carry on bag has all my clothes, laptop, and camers for the trip. I might be down at the river washing clothes sometime soon.. ;) Started the malaria medicine, "take with food and if you vomit within an hour take another dose" was part of a long instruction list. Good news, I did not pray to the porcelain god within the hour....
Last minute stuff then drive to Wichita for a flight to Memphis.......then Amsterdam, then Abuja Nigeria. Doris has a seat in the middle of 5 and I have an isle chair, probably with an infant behind me that is teething and has ears that can't adjust to cabin pressure changes. Time will tell who has the better seat........

Nigeria

The Plans.....
