Greg Stout & Dan Rockwell relaxing in the
Detroit-Wayne County Airport ... on the way,
wait, on the way, wait, on the way, wait.... then
to Johannesburg. Yebo!
So far, so very good... a little fog early this morning on the way to the Cedar Rapids airport. Smooth check in at 4:30 a.m. & then reading, chatting, waiting for 6:30 flight to Detroit... breakfast, then waiting, reading, suduko, calls, writing thank you cards, walking... Greg rode the train. Flight to Atlanta... smooth, studying Siswati phrases, etc. Late lunch in the airport food court with schmaltzy piano music accompaniment & now blogging. We are delighted that it looks like we will have a direct flight from Atlanta to Joburg... No search, delay & fumigation in Senegal this time. Thanks to so many of you for your messages, blessings & prayers as we arrive at the Atlanta jumping off point to cross the Atlantic & enter Africa! We feel cacooned in your caring embrace! Next blog (hopefully) from Joburg! PS. Greg will also try to update his blog on http://www.swimforhim.info/ under the Waterblog heading.
