Almost there...

We had a delay in D.C., to be more specific, a 12 hour delay. Once we made it to Washington, we had to wait about an hour for our luggage. Then we tried to look for the Ethiopian Airline's ticket counter. Went up an elevator and down another elevator walked around the airport to find out the ticket counter was closed. So here we are walking around the airport with 8 pieces of luggage and four carry ons. Given our options, spend the night at the airport or get a hotel, we started our search for a hotel. We called Holiday Inn and were very happy to get a room, but as soon as we got there they told us they were booked. So back to square one. Fortunately, the manager at Holiday Inn called Hampton Inn and got us a room. By the time we finally got our room, we were hungry and tired, so we decided to eat a bag of popcorn and go to bed. After all these obstacles, I am happy to tell you all that we fly out tonight from Washington DC and get to Ethiopia at 7pm their time on Tuesday, about 10am US time, which is the same day as previously scheduled just 12 hours later :) As you can tell our adventure has begun. We do thank God for taking care of us and providing us with a United gate agent that was willing to work with us and gave us the best option possible. We also got all our luggage :) (so far... lol)

That's all for now! We're excited to get there...we'll keep you all updated as much as we can.


Thanks for all your prayers,

Blessings!
