Off to the airport

Nothing clever to say nor wise to tell. I will be leaving for the airport in 4.5 hours for a flight out of Albuquerque that leaves at 7:02am for DC. I get into DC around 1pm and then it's off to Ethiopia at 8:30 pm! The flight is over 7000 miles and will take 15 hours. This will give me a lot of time to not only sleep but also to get to know the others that are on this trip with me. I took a picture of myself all loaded up, the only things that are missing from this picture are my camera and my tripod. (I got one very similar to yours Kevin) The tripod is pretty sweet because it hooks onto the side of my camera bag by putting one of the legs through a loop in the bag. I am going to head off to bed now to get at least a little sleep. I encourage you to post comments as it is the main way that I will be keeping in touch with people, and thank you for reading it means a lot that you took the time to do so. I will do my best to keep you entertained with stories and photos that I will regularly try to load on to my Picasa web page which is linked at the very bottom of this blog as well as right here PHOTOS

My next blog will be from Ethiopia's capital city.
