We are in Dubai. Went from GR to Altanta to Dubai.
Our flight was 14 hours and 11 minutes to get here. WOW- that is the longest flight I have ever been on. 3 meals later we landed in Dubai. My feet were numb and sleeping did not come easy. We had some turbulance when I was trying to sleep and they had the stewardest's take their seats. I was a rough ride, and this maybe why it was hard for me to sleep. Trying to unwind.
We took a interesting flight by air, we went near London and Paris, over much of Europe, Turkey,Iraq and Suadi Araba. On the seat they have a tv screen that tells us our speed, flight patterns, time and of course movies,shows and music to listen to. We definantly watched our fair share of movies.
So we went through customs here in Dubai, and collected our baggage and had to go outside and walk to a different building to go back into the airport. The weather outside is 86 degrees. So we can offically say we were in Dubai!
We went to check in after scanning all of our luggage and Ethiopian Air is not open yet. We have about 4 hours to wait. So the nap I was hoping to have in the airport is not going to happen. We found a food court and found comfy chairs!!! Oh yeah- So we are chillin in these til we can check in.
When we arrive in Ethiopia it will be 7:25AM . So we will not be sleeping for a while. Hopefully we can sleep on the next plane and in the airport a little before our flight leaves.
Currently in Dubai it is 10:20pm on Saturday.
Oh yeah- all of our luggage came too!!
Our journey to get our precious boy continues. I will continue to update as we get to Ethiopia.
Please pray for us as we go into a busy day with not much sleep.
We are so excited to see Tariku.
Love you all
