4 Weeks! Yes, I'm Counting Down!

Well, the time is now down to 4 weeks.  28 days!  Yes, each passing hour has my excitement level increasing.  I keep thinking of all the preparation that still needs to be done.  I’m sure I’m repeating myself here, but I want everything to go as perfectly as possible.  I know this trip will have tons of surprises for all of us, but I’m hoping they are only good surprises.  I hope that the time spent sitting in the airports will bring us all closer together.  A shared “misery” as we head to a great joy.

I plan on taking my laptop with me as I have been told that there should be internet most places we stay at night.  So hopefully everyone will have a chance to post to this blog.  I hope to post some of the pictures that we all take, but not too many.  Have to leave some for us all to share when we return home.  I honestly expect us to take over 10,000 pictures.  But when you think about it, that’s only around 50 pictures a day per person.  That’s not that bad.  With all that will be new for us, 50 pictures might be nothing.

My son has been telling me all the things I need to remember to do while I’m in Kenya.  So far I think he’s up to 15 different things I need to remember for him.  But the best thing he said was, “Dad, you don’t need to bring me anything if you can spend that money to help a kid over there.”  THAT is why I want to do something like this.  So that he sees how much it affects everyone when we help someone.
