The Eve of Departure

We are all packed and ready for departure. Mom and Asantwaa (a Calvin College student who will be staying at our home while we are away) have weighed all the bags and shifted things around to make sure they are 50lbs and below.

We depart tomorrow at 2pm from Grand Rapids, MI to catch our international flight at O'Hare (Chicago). We will leave Chicago at 5pm and get to London (UK) at 6.30am and then depart for Nairobi, Kenya at 10am and get there at 9pm on Thursday night (approximately 3am US time). The trip will take approximately 23 hours.

We have brought books to read and music to listen to and the Airlines offer many movies to choose from. So apart from sleeping a lot, we will be fully entertained.

We will tell you more about the journey tomorrow and in the days to come.

  1. Hi Gatwiri,
    I hope you are there already! That is a great picture - I love your hat! I hope your flight went well and that you were able to sleep some. Did you watch any good movies? God bless you - I am praying for you and your family. Mrs. Broersma
