We made it!

We are here in Kenya and that's pretty much all the news! Our flights were uneventful but long. From Atlanta, we had a 14 hour flight to Dubai where we had a 3 hour layover. Then onto Nairobi by way of Muscat (I had never heard of it either). We stopped there for an hour to pick up more passengers and then continued on to Nairobi (about 7 hours in all). So, we left Columbus Sunday afternoon and arrived in Kenya Tuesday morning around 5 a.m. All of our luggage made it except for one bag (Grace's clothes). Hopefully that will turn up in the next day or two. We made a quick stop at Nakumatt (Kenya Kmart) for groceries and bottled water and then stopped at Java House to eat breakfast. We arrived at Brackenhurst around 10 a.m. and have spent the last couple of hours settling in and unpacking. Our "Team House" is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that has been recently renovated and will be perfect for us.

Our plan is to head to head to the Children's Center in a couple of hours and be there to greet the kids when they get home from school. Hope to have pictures and more exciting news in the next post...
