We have arrived!

We just landed in Johannesburg a little while ago and are now at the Dove's Nest Hotel. There were no problems on the flight...other than that Sarah and Ann's video players were malfunctioning. Vaughn slept very well, as did Ann, Jim, Webb, and Caroline.  We think Betsy might have been so exhausted she wasn't aware of how well she slept.

Lane made two friends on the plane and was given gifts by each of them. Tom (the birthday boy) made sure everybody was happy.

We are a happy group, ready for our first African meal and a good night's sleep before heading to Malawi early tomorow morning!

Packing is far more complicated!!!

Well, I now think that I have finished packing! I spoke too quickly earlier about just how easy it was! Clothes, shoes, etc. were a piece of cake....but cramming all of the other stuff in our bags has been a challenge. Along with lots of cameras, several books, and health supplies for three weeks, we also have the "what if this happens" stuff to pack.

The adventure begins very soon. We head out knowing that we will be followed by lots of prayers and cheering us on from home.

Love to all, Ann
