Tonight’s the night. The lyrics from Rod Stewart’s song seem appropriate:
Tonight’s the night. Gonna be alright….
We leave in just a few hours, so tonight is the night because we are completing our packing. I told Sherry that I didn’t want to be packing at 10:00 Thursday night, so we’re not. We are packing at 9:30 Thursday night.
Tomorrow we start the long process to get to Nairobi. Denver – Toronto – Zurich – Nairobi. A 9 hour time difference from Cheyenne.
Once we get there we will meet up with our friends Chris and Jane Sharkey, formerly of Cheyenne, then Fredonia, Wisconsin, now building a house in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. They keep running, staying one step ahead of the law.
Once we are in Nairobi, we will connect with the good folks from CFCA on Sunday. A couple days in Nairobi, then transfer to Kisumu. Transfer by bus, that is. Not a Greyhound, either.
We’ll try to post as often as we can. Thanks for listening.
Peace, Matt

Well according to my clock you are probably at the airport in line doing the “check in” thing. Wally and I sure wish you a wonderful trip. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you today for a safe and “quick” feeling trip; I did not know you would be meeting your good friends in Africa-how great! Have a great time and I can’t imagine how wonderful it will be to meet your sponsored people. Treasure the moments as I’m sure you will. We love you both and can’t wait to hear about your travels. Be safe. LOL Margaret & Wally (Like my little text messaging letters? Pretty cool sister wouldn’t you say-smiles).
