We are now on the airplane, flying to Ethiopia. At the airport in Rome, Em and I were able to get checked in just fine, with no extra charge for our overweight luggage, which was a worry of ours from the beginning. We were blessed because we ended up in the business class line, since there weren’t too many people there yet, and we think the lady got confused, as someone in the next line was forced to send luggage home with her mother! Praise be to God, because we were able to check all 4 pieces of luggage, when we thought we could check only 2!
This was especially wonderful since the plane was packed full, and the flight attendants were barely able to get all the compartments closed. Many people had to put their large bags under their chairs or down in cargo.
The snack, or “dinner”, was….um..interesting. Chicken that was more rubbery than rubber, Em had moldy vegetables, and the Italian gentleman sitting next to me turned his nose up at the dessert, since it came from Venice. But the butter was good.
Em and I are still in this surreal swirl. We can’t believe that we just left Rome, a beautiful city that gave us so many wonderful memories. And now we are hopping over Africa to Ethiopia, our boy’s homeland for what may be weeks……to see our boys! OUR BOYS! Surreal.
We love reading your comments and emails, they help give us strength and make us smile. Keep ‘em coming!
Well, I need to get some sleep, as we are losing 2 more hours. We will be 9 hours ahead of you guys in Minnesota.

Oh yeah, the picture is of me and Em after the Vatican museum, which took 3.5 hours!
