Countdown

We bought our plane tickets today!

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
