Our Travel Arrangements

We made our flight reservations last night!!! It makes it feel real, not that the house full of baby stuff doesn't, but we are really going to get her. We will leave Tampa on Saturday 5/23/09 just before 5:00 and get into JFK at 8:10. We transfer from Delta to Emirates Airlines and leave JFK at 23:00 headed for Dubai, a 12 hr and 45 minute flight! We land in Dubai at 19:45 and will spend the night in Dubai. Monday morning we catch a flight from Dubai at 8:25 am to Addis Ababa, getting in at 11:30 am to Bole International! Whew!! Monday is the day we will meet our daughter, Ella. I can't wait!
The return flight is a little easier.
Monday 6/1/09 7:35 pm flight from Addis to Dubai getting in at 12:45 am. We leave for JFK at 2:00 am and fly for 13 hours and 45 minutes to JFK--with an infant!!! We get into JFK at 7:45 am and leave for TPA at 1:00 pm and arrive home in Tampa at 4:00 on Tuesday June 2nd!
We are still looking into Guest Houses in Ethiopia.

So happy for the both of you!!!! I can't wait to meet Ella. She's a very lucky baby to get you two as parents.

We are flying Emirates too, but out of LAX. We should be on the same flight from Dubai to Ethiopia.
