Flying, flying, and more flying

We finally arrived in Africa!  We left at 4:30 pm on Monday and arrived at 6:30 pm today.  In over 40 hours from start to finish, we have gotten 3 hours of interrupted sleep.  We collectively watched some many in flight movies that we won't need to watch TV for quite some time.   Thank the Lord the flights went smoothly except for the run way delays on the flight from Paris to Africa.
Upon arrival, everything went very smooth.  In fact, at customs there was an official waiting for us (and asked for us by name) who helped us through the line and got us to baggage claim.  The airport is 2 rooms...no air conditioning and it was hot and crowded!
We were then taken to a small SUV which they thought would fit 7 people and all our luggage.  They quickly figured out that was not going to work.  So, another car was flagged down.  As we started driving, I was stunned by the poor condition of the roads (mostly dirt) and the sheer amount of people everywhere.  The ride proved to be an experience to say the least!
Due to the fact, that it was dark when we arrived at the hotel, our boys will arrive with their foster mom tomorrow morning.  So for now, I will crawl in my mosquito net and get some sleep.  Tomorrow I get to meet my boys...the day I have waited for!
