Countdown to Kenya

On January 18 I will leave LAX and fly to London, on to Nairobi, and the final leg, to Kisumu, arriving on January 20! I will meet my Kakamega pal Shanon Hawkesworth at LAX by 2pm so we can pick up our computers and be with our Salvation Army mentors Major Judy, Hector and Monica. I have a passport with a Kenya visa; I have taken 6 shots, a day of anticipation and dread, with 2 more shots this week; Andy, Chelsea and sweet Meghan moved to Texas on Monday January 11 and it was an emotional morning/mourning, but I promise to see them at Christmas 2010. I must return to meet the grand babies who will be born while I am away. I have coffee'd, lunch'd, dined with so many caring people who wish me the best. It is the greatest source of strength as I throw myself into my life dream!

    The ladies are in the air. They left LAX Mon pm, arrived London this morning with an 8 hr. layover, and should now be winging their way to Nairobi for an early morning arrival on Wed. where they may get to see giraffes before flying off to Kisumu and a drive to Kakamega. Bless them.

    Roxanne! I love your blog. You make us all feel like we are there with you. We are with you in spirit! As they taught us in class... you are really being "unreasonable" -- and it's great!
