Welcome to Zambia!
Well, I am going to post twice today. First, to finish talking about getting here.
18 hours from D.C. to Johannessburg, commonly refered to as Jo-hann, as I learned. One stop in Dakar, in Senegal, for 1 hour, to re-fuel the plane.
I DID GREAT!
Six hours in Jo-hann airport, where I discovered in-airport-inns. A room for six hours, don't have to go through security, three beds and several couches, and a shower! That was the best $100 I have ever spent, and I told those I shared it with that it was courtesy of Mickelson Financial Services. Thanks, John, and not just from me.
Okay, so just two more hours flying to Lusaka, half an hour drive, unload the truck, and to our boarding house. I have great pictures of the front gate and the "Welcom to Zambia" sign at the airport.
It was dark, so I couldn't see a lot last night, but I got to go run this morning as kids were walking to school and people were walking to work. Lots of people walking, and this blond American with bright white legs gasping and running past them. I think I scared some of the school kids.
I am so excited. I thought I would feel more trepidatious at this point, but I don't. I feel primed, anxious, ready. I hope the good vibrations continue.
