Goodbye Fall Colors

The colors are just arriving as I am departing

  Today is my last day in the United States.  Tomorrow I depart for my adventure to Chad.  For those of you who are interested my flight will look like this....

- at 5:52 am I will be leaving Cleveland on a United flight (1 1/2 hours).
- I will arrive in Washington DC around 7:25 am
- from there I will depart at 11:15 am headed to Addis Ababa on Ethiopian airlines (only 13 and a half hour flight)
- I will be arriving in Ethiopia Tuesday at 7:45 am
- I will be leaving for N'djamena at 10:30 am (a 4 hour flight)
- if all goes well I will arrive in Chad at 12:30 pm

  I will be met at the airport by Moses and then will stay in N'djamena for a day to register with the police and get my long term visa.  So Wednesday if all goes well, I will be headed to Sarh on Wednesday.  For all of you who are interested (and I hope it is everyone because I would love receiving a plethora of letters) my address will be the following:

BP 166
Sarh, Chad

Short and sweet right!  I don't count on packages making it, but a picture enclosed in a letter would be greatly appreciated.  I can't wait to start sharing all that I learn along the way....until my next connection with Internet, bon voyage to me!

oh and a nice new haircut for my journey
(don't worry I donated what I could)
