Halfway there....

Am sitting in Heathrow, killing some of my six hours by checking emails and updating this blog. Packing was a NIGHTMARE, to say the least. I repacked each bag about 4 times, contstantly trying to get them smaller and more manageable. In my defense, one entire bag is full of supplies for the kids, so that means that I fit seven months of supplies in one modest sized duffel bag. Pretty impressive for a girl who normally overpacks everything.

Sat next to a great guy from London named Alex. We both know common people in Seattle. Very Six Degrees of Separation indeed. His friend runs safari tours in Kenya, so I will look that up as well.

Three more hours, then off on the plane to Tanzania. Will arrive around 8:00 on Sunday.

By the time I write the next update, I'll be there....
