One More Week

1 week to go. Christmas is over and New Years is coming up this weekend. I have a limited amount of time to get all my last minute stuff taken care of. I haven’t been sleeping well the last 2 weeks since I left work. This is probably a result of not NEEDING to be up early as well as some anxiety.

I’m going to be booking my first 2 nights in Nairobi tonight that way I’m not stressed out on arrival and can recover from the long flight. I usually love to fly but I’m not looking forward to 2 back-to-back 8 hour hauls.

Christmas was good. I got a few things that I needed from my mom to help me out and a little bit of cash. Lets see, I still need to get my visa photos this week, take care of some legal stuff, get a few more items and I should be all set. I want to be all done by the weekend so I don’t have to worry about it with New Years Eve.

The situation in Ethiopia seems to be ok right now but I’m keeping my eye on it every day until I leave. They declared war on Somalia this week and have troops advancing to the capital but as far as I can see this is going to be a war fought in Somali soil and not Ethiopian. Either way, I’m going to register with the US Embassy upon arrival and keep up on the local news while I’m there.
