Joel

His bags are packed.  Actually he just has the one bag, the teal suit case has a small suit case and a another box inside.  These are gifts that people asked him to take over to give to their loved ones.  So we (Phil & I ) think that suit case might come home full with other fun things from Africa.  I hear the coffee is very smooth.  Just saying since there is such a love for coffee in this house.

We leave at 2:30 p.m. to get him to the Milwaukee airport by 3:30 p.m. His shuttle leaves for Chicago at 4 and his flight leaves at 8:30 tonight heading for London first,

He will be 8 hours ahead of us.  We will try to Skype whenever it is possible for him.  We have been told that the power goes out where he is staying or the connection is just horrible.  They tell me don't worry if you
don't hear from him for a few days.

This is the home he will staying in.

FAMILY - I will post updates on here whenever I hear from him.
