Kwaheri!

Kwaheri means "Good bye" in Swahili, which is what is most commonly spoken in Uganda. Andrew and I are officially on our way to meet our little girl clear across the world! We have quite a long trek to get to Jinja; it will take a total of two days.

Our first flight to SanFransisco was canceled and so we were re-directed to Seattle. Once we arrived in Seattle, we went straight to the departure gate for our next flight which was headed to Dubai. God tested our faith then and there when we were told weren't in the system and may not make it on the flight. This happened all because of the cancellation of our previous flight and how the woman went about "fixing" things and re-directing us, etc. Despite the scare, they were able to get us on the correct flight, praise God!

The flight to Dubai was long and tiring as we didn't sleep much at all. We've landed in Dubai and will be making our way to our hotel to finally meet up with Janna. It will be so good to finally meet her!

I imagine after such a long flight, we will be grabbing some dinner in the hotel restaurant and will be heading straight to bed to get in as much rest as possible before heading out again first thing in the morning to catch our next flight to Entebbe.

I will update again as soon as I am able!
