It's the 25th of November and the day to pull it together to head to the airport. The bags are loaded--3 for Kenya and 1 to stay in England for our Christmas with the children. We'll pick up two bags in England (Marcus' football team has a bag of kits and balls for us to take to a village team).
I woke up at 5:30 with my mind running on what still needed to be done, last copies to be made, one more battery to charge, etc. More importantly I was contemplating all the possible contacts in the village, seeing our friends, meeting with the women. I am eager to meet many of the girls who have received scholarships and to share their stories with you.
Jon will be working in a more remote village helping to build desks for a primary school. He feels blessed to have received a donation of hand tools and a donation of money for the wood.
Oh, yes, we did get fairly decent seat assignments on British Air. (I'm adding the photo of Jon and me trying to get the seats as soon as the window opened to check in online to see if I have the skill to add photos on the trip.) We had to both sign on since Jon has a Frequent Flyer ticket.
I have my Maasai jewelry on, Jon has his and we're ready to start this adventure with people we love on the other side of the world.
