And we're off!!!

Hi all. We're at SFO about to check in. What a whirlwind it has been! The last two weeks have been a mad scramble, closing loops at work,


baby showers, getting the house ready for Bedilu, squeezing in our last bits of life as we know it (mountain biking, dinner for two, a movie, etc.). Last night we were up late packing. So typical for us. But we've never packed for a baby before, much less one we haven't seen in 3 months. It feels like guesswork.

We are totally thrilled and excited for the biggest adventure of our lives. I meant to write sooner and in much more depth, but you'll have to settle for this iPhone update on the go!

We're flying Lufthansa to Frankfurt, then to Addis and arriving late Monday. Less layover than on Emirates, and more comfortable plane (Airbus 388, then A340).

Okay, gotta check in...
