1st International Blog - Final Flight Leg - Seeing the Boys Today!

When you use Google in the middle east, how do you explain the interesting font that is on their page here?

After an intereting start to our trip (the PDX/United ticket agent couldn't figure out why Tonja's ticket wouldn't work) we got flyin'. We actually didn't have to wait at the gate because the ticket SNAFU took the whole time. Glad we got there a little early.

San Fran was a 4 hr. layover so we walked around, had BK for lunch and then read/played on the laptop.

A 15 hr. flight is a LONG flight. The cool thing was that Emirates Air has individual monitors behind everyseat so you can watch a bazzillion movies and tv shows for free. A Boeing 777-300 is the biggest plane we've ever been on.

We did fly over the North Pole and down over Moscow on our way. There was some debate about how we would fly exactly. (Their website didn't show the route accurately.)

Thank the Lord for Radio Shack having the correct voltage/outlet adaptor for Dubai. Now we pray it works in Addis and that we can get on the internet there as well.

Running out of time on the $50 internet time card.... (only $15 U.S.D. according to the front desk. We'll see. It was totally cheaper than talking on the phone for $4.00 per minute with Jeanette!)

Off to Ethiopia TODAY! We're ours from seeing the boys!
