Ethiopia - Travel/Day 1

Saturday morning:
All our bags are packed (all 50 pounds and under - thank you very much! - one was even 45 pounds and I thought of all the stuff I could have added!) and we're ready to go!

9:15am:
Amy's Dad arrives to take us to the airport. Our flight isn't until 1:10pm but advice from Mike's sister is true, "it's always more fun to wait at the airport!"

10:15am:
Arriving at O'Hare. Amy's Mom says to bring her back two wonderful gifts!


Waiting in line at the United International flights line and totally surprised at the SHORT wait! We are through the line in about 15 minutes:


Our plane to Ethiopia!!! We flew both times at night and never got a great picture of the airplane:

9:30pm - ish
Somewhere over the Atlantic:


Sunday, February 14th, 11:30pm
24+ hours later, Yebsabi Guest House, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia:


Advice/Thoughts to those coming after us:
1. Tylenol PM is GREAT!
2. It is better to wait at the airport than at home!
3. The Pizza Pretzel and Pretzel Hotdog at Auntie Ann's in Dulles Airport were great!
4. Use the bathroom at the back of the airplane (there are 2) instead of the 1 in the middle!
