On Our Way

It all started at the Dallas airport...2 eager travelers and 5 suitcases, none of which were over 50 lbs! This was quite an accomplishment considering how much formula and baby food we ended up bringing. As our trip was extended 5 days in country, we could have used a little more space for some extra clothes! Jon later said that we should have taken a picture of ourselves every morning so we would know what day it was by what we were wearing when we looked back at the pictures. This of course was a joke, because by that time we had worn so much of our clothes multiple times. :)

The layover in Frankfurt was not as exciting as we had hoped.  We didn’t really get to look around much as the airport was divided into several different terminals with security checks between each and we could only get to an area that included our gate, as well as a few others, plus a McDonalds, a couple of restaurants, and some duty free shops.  My ever-intrepid geocacher was bummed because we could not get to terminal A, which had a geocache at one of the gates.  If we fly Lufthansa next time, maybe we’ll have better luck. 

After cleaning up a little, walking around, and a quick nap, it was time to board!   
  

After 24 hours or so of travel, we had made it!  We navigated our way through the airport, got our visas, changed some dollars into birr, found our driver, and collected our luggage.  Now on to the hotel for a good nights sleep!
