We are on our way! Sam (my husband) went with us to the airport in Phoenix and he and I said our farewells. This is so much easier for me than for him because I'm off on a big adventure while he has to continue the routine of our lives. First we flew to Newark and waited there for several hours. Overnight we flew to Brussels. Barb and Joe and I are now sitting in the Brussels airport waiting for our connection to Douala. In about six hours we'll be in Africa. Last night I had a delightful seat mate – a 24 year old MD student who is on winter break. We talked in French and she said I wasn't doing too badly.
I slept very poorly. When I finally got to sleep, all too soon Barbara was awakening me because we were getting ready to land. While waiting, a sweet toddler named Micah took a shining to me. He climbed up in my lap and nearly fell asleep.
