The plan was simple. A short drive from Cape Town to Cairo with a small break in the middle to attend a few weddings back home in America. Well, due to some visa complications with the UAE, Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia I basically flew around the world at least once orbiting Bubbles as she progressed through Kenya. If you speak airport code, it went something like this: EBB-DXB-SEA-BZN-SEA-DXB-JNB-DXB-JFK-BOS-DXB-ADD. If you don’t speak airport code, see below:
Highlights of course were: seeing nieces and nephews in Seattle; seeing JT and AGC get hitched in Bozeman; catching up with great friends in Dubai; collecting Sudan visa in Pretoria and then skiing in Lesotho with great friends from Joburg; a great catch up in NYC with my Dominican Family and most excellent friends from Dubai; suiting up in my best Ugandan tux for LA and CJ wedding in New Hampshire. It was a whirlwind. And totally worth it.
Now that I’m in southern Ethiopia waiting to meet up with Ross, I am ready again for a simple life on the road. But gosh, I will miss the champagne on those Emirates flights.
