I know, I know. I am here! It’s been a long time since I have posted. I know good excuse other than pure laziness.
The trip to Africa was amazing and exhausting. We accomplished everything we hoped to. On the way there, we had a 8 hour layover in London. We were able to head out and see some of the city.
It’s the rainy season in Burundi right now. It was 85 everyday and humid because of the rain. However, compared to the 20s and 2 feet of snow at home, I would take it. We were treated really well and got to see a lot of the city and some of the mountain area.
On the way home, we had 12 hours in Nairobi, Kenya. We hired a driver and went to a couple wildlife areas, a mall, and a market. Nairobi is a busy busy city.
It has taken me a little bit to “get back to normal.” The two 30 hour travel times in one week and 7 hour time change was hard to recover from. I also picked up something on one of the plane rides. But, I took advantage of all of the bad weather and didn’t leave the house for a few days. I was feeling better by Christmas and we got to spend time with both families and see some extended family.
I can’t believe New Year’s Eve is tomorrow! We don’t have any plans, but we will find something to do. In 2008 we were able to do some exciting things, so I hope we can continue to do that in 2009!
