Oh, the travails of travel. I guess I shouldn't complain, because I have traveled for years with very few incidents, and am lucky enough to be headed to somewhere far enough away to require several flights. I'm on my way to Ethiopia, finally, after a cancelled flight from New York to D.C. left me stranded and unable to catch my flight from D.C. to Addis. Looking on the bright side, though, I got to spend a night in New York with one of my best friends (thanks for lending me your spare bed Abby!). And, after a day of delay, I'm on my way to meet Brian in Ethiopia. He was so excited about this trip, I'm almost more disappointed that I'll be losing a day of tour-guiding him. I can't wait to experience the country through the fresh eyes of a friend who enjoys life as much as Brian does. Hold on, Bri, I'm on my way!
