Ethiopia Court Trip - Day #1

We are in Ethiopia! We arrived this morning (ET time) about 7:45AM, got visas, got baggage and i even think we went thru customs, lol I don't quite remember which line what which! LOL

Arrived at the guesthouse (Addis View), experienced the driving culture in Addis Ababa, and our driver didn't hit anyone or anything that I know of. And I thought driving in NYC was bad! We had some lunch at the restaurant there and tried to take a nap after that LOOOOOONG 13 hour flight from DC. The flight itself wasn't bad, but squeezing our size &#%#@ butts into those size 2 seats, well let's just say I am going to be working out SUPER HARD when we get home.  Mostly we just relaxed, also had dinner and so far met one fellow-waiting family(husband) who has sent us pictures in the past of our baby girl and told us a little more about her personality which was awesome to hear! We skyped with our friend who is house and dog sitting for us and called (thru Skype) my Mom.

I am pretty sure that tomorrow we will get to meet our daughter!!!!!  To say I CAN'T wait is an understatement!  Going to try to document the days because I don't want to forget ANYTHING!

Off to bed for me now so I can get up early!!!!
