In just 36 hours I will be at the airport once again, waiting to embark on a long 26 hour flight to Arusha, Tanzania. The long flight and 4 airports don't bother me~it's quite exciting actually. I know what awaits me at the last airport in Kilimanjaro~the smiling faces of Rehema and some of the children will be there to greet us. Rehema and the children are extremely excited this time as Mama Linda is bringing new friends~Jody, Alex & Hannah. I too am excited for these 3 ladies as it is their first time to Africa. I remember my first time, with my daughter Lisa, over 2 1/2 years ago now. It was so exciting and overwhelming. I remember sitting on the plane and when it took off, my daughter and I looked at each other and she said "this is crazy, I'm on a plane to Africa". Little did I know, what that first trip had in store for me and that it would be my 'AHA' moment! I hope my friend, Jody, and Alex and Hannah have that trip of a lifetime like I did. I know the love from the Karim Children will change them forever!
