Just a quick post - Joan, Debbie & I made it safe & sound, luggage and all, after a very long day. Actually, close to 2 days, I guess - definitely 2 days considering the time change. 11 hours ahead for Debbie & I, and 9 hours ahead for Joan.
Flights were long but uneventful. Hotel in Addis is clean but definitely in need of a makeover - this is more like the Hilton from 30+ years ago in terms of style. Smoking is wherever, whenever, but at least they have non-smoking rooms which helps a little.
We really haven't seen anything much yet - it was dark when we arrived (about 9 pm local time) and now that it's 1 am local time, I'm popping the sleeping pill to help me sleep through this first night since back home it's 2 pm....
Tomorrow is our 'sightseeing/vacation' day before the real work starts so hopefully we'll be able to take advantage of most of the day and explore!
