Here I Go Again!

Everything is slowly coming together as I prepare for my 5th trip into Africa.  October 12th is the day I leave for Ghana.  We will  fly down to Zambia for 1 week, then Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya and back to Ghana and then home.  I will be gone a month less a day.
 As the day draws closer I am starting to get excited.  I am excited to see the children and mamas again and to meet again all the Rafiki Overseas Staff(ROS).  I am looking forward to seeing the children in Kenya as this is my 5th trip there and I have had the blessing of watching them grow up.  It is always exciting to see the changes that occur each Year.  
 I am not looking forward to the long flight to Zambia but it will be broken up with plane changes in Atlanta, Ghana and Nairobi.  We will arrive on the 14th at around 10 am, which will be  the 13th around 8 or 9 pm  here at home.  I really don't want to think about how long this trip is going to be.  I hopefully will get some sleep on the plane. Once we get to Zambia we have about an hour plus of travel time to the Rafiki Village.   I suspect that we will be somewhat wasted by the time we reach our destination. 
I am excited about a day trip to the 11,000 foot level of Mount Kilimanjaro.  I understand this is one of the most scenic places in Tanzania.
I am feeling so blessed!
