We made it!!!

We made it!!!  I will post pictures soon, but until then here is a copy of the e-mail I sent out, for what that's worth.

Hey everyone,

We made it!!!! I would say that it was the longest trip I have ever been on, and that includes touring across America in a van with five other people! We are very happy to be here though.

I think from door to door the trip was 40 plus hours, that includes a 15 hour layover in Nairobi. We arrived yesterday around 2 in the afternoon Kigali time. The kids were great all in all. We are all very tired, but I think the worst of it was actually the last few days before we left. Michele (Jaime's Mom), thank you for putting up with us!

The kids love the house and yard. Today we went out for a bit shopping and Ava experienced a bit of culture shock, but besides that they are doing better than I expected.

I walked to the closest hotel to us, Novotel, to access e-mail. I will post on the blog soon to write and post pictures, and hopefully we will have internet connection at home shortly. I also plan on "jailbreaking" our iPhones. Has anybody seen / bought a new one yet?

Anyway, I hope all is well. We will be in touch, and try to check e-mail again tomorrow. We love and miss you all.

Love,
Eric, Jaime, Ava and Ian
