I arrived safely (though one suitcase short...it's schedule to come today) on Wednesday night. The trip wasn't too bad. Virgin Atlantic has personal TVs on each of the seats where you can watch a whole list of movies. So, between that, reading and sleeping the trip went relatively quickly. Though I did almost miss my flight in London, if I had been another 15 or 20 minutes I don't think I would have made it. But I did, and I'm back now.
It's always hard for me to leave my friends in Ethiopia. I have become so close to them, especially on this trip. So it was really hard to say goodbye to them again. I feel pretty confident that I will be returning within the year, hopefully for good - or at least a long time.
Now comes the hard part: preparing to move there. I have some things I need to do, such as become ESL (English as a Second Language) certified, work more on my Amharic, and of course get rid of these loans. I'm hoping that the time passes relatively quick and I can get back to Ethiopia soon.
My laptop with all my pictures is in the lost bag. Once that shows up, I'll try to upload some pictures to the blog.
That's all folks.

I loved following your trip. It is inspiring to hear what is being done there, by you and others. I would love to talk more about it, once I am up and back out in the world. I am glad you are home safely, though I believe you feel more at home somewhere else.
See you soon.

I am so sorry that you miss Ethiopia & your friends there so deeply. I am also happy that you feel that way. It's good to really know where you belong. You are well on your way to living there. Your plans are in the works & you will be home in Ethiopia soon. I look forward to seeing you!
