Leaving tomorrow!

Hey everyone, we are leaving tomorrow (Tues) for San Francisco where our plan takes off. My dad was reviewing the notes he made and realized that our plane left at 8am instead of 8pm on Wednesday. We're doing a ton of packing, unpacking, repacking , re-unpacking and packing again. Getting all the shampoo and stuff out from one bottle to a tiny one was a lot of fun because it kept exploding everywhere. Everything is okay so far, but my Dad has been very stressed and has started wandering aimlessly around muttering to himself. He does that normally anyway, but he's been walking into walls and stuff.

General information about why we're going

Our Grandparent's organization, GLK, helps war and AID orphans in Uganda and Rwanda. They find sponsors for them and make sure their orphanage is a nice one. Lately they've been getting old (like a lot of people tend to) and are no longer fit travelers. Last time they went was 4 years ago, and thing are getting chaotic. We are getting sent to make sure the kids are okay and the money is getting spent wisely. It's going to be very exiting and a lot of work. I promise not to make this blog really boring and simple, like every other blog is. Although my little speech up there made me fall asleep, it's a one time thing. I also promise not to infect any of you with Ebola if I can help it.

Europe details, if anyone is interested

We are leaving on the 2nd of September and arriving in Frankfurt, Germany on the 3rd. Then we are going to Paris for 2 days and a half, Pisa for less than 1, Florence for 2, Rome for 3 and back up to London for 2 days and a half, where we fly out to Istanbul, where we are staying for a day and flying out again to Africa.
