The Adventure Begins

We are ready for our 14er. 

I'm  not talking about Mt. Sherman or any of the other Colorado mountains that draw hikers to the summit.  We are at the Dulles airport in DC getting ready to board our South Africa Airlines flight to Johannesburg ... a 14 hour trip with an hour layover in Dakar, Senegal.  Let's hope the movies are good.

So far everything is going well.  We shifted our luggage contents to get all the bags under 50 lbs.  The short flight from KC to DC was smooth and without incident.

But now the adventure begins. 

New countries, customs and communication challenges.  Reacquainting with old friends and developing new relationships half way around the world.  Seeing what God is doing for the orphans in Malawi through the generous hearts and gifts of so many in the United States.

We hope you will join us in the journey and follow us during the next week.

Until later, we press on ...
