Our tentative itinerary;
- Depart Grand Rapids Wed., Feb.3rd. Arrive Addis Abba, Ethiopia, Thurs., Feb. 4
- Friday sightsee/relax
- Saturday-Monday, drive 5 hours to the south and view area Addison Blen was born. Rumor has it we take a boat ride on a lake in the region containing wild hippos and monkeys in the trees. Have a feeling this safari won't be Disney run. Can't wait!
- Monday night return to Addis Abba
- Tuesday- meet and hold Addison for the first time! Then bring her 'home' to our hotel and travel with her the rest of the stay.
- Wednesday-shop??
- Thursday - embassy appointment
- Friday - we extended our stay due to flight choice, so this day is 'open' and still in country
- Saturday depart Addis Abba
- Sunday, Feb.14 Happy Valentine's Day!! - we bring our sweetheart home. We will have a layover at Detroit Metro ~11am-1:00pm...hope to see Mooma & Boompa in that window
- Arrive Grand Rapids at 2:30pm
I am so happy for you all. We can wait to meet her. We will be in town on 2/27 and 2/28. I know it's soon, so let me know. Love, Merlo
