To answer some of the questions I have been receiving we are flying in and out of Detroit.
To answer questions about the length of our stay. Since our embassy appointment is on Thursday, November 15 and the boys' VISA won't be ready until Monday we have to stay throught the weekend. Ethiopian Air has flights to Addis 5 days a week however they are not flying on Sunday, November 12 so the earliest we could get into Addis Ababa if we did not fly out on Saturday is Tuesday night. Then on the return trip we would have left on Monday night however Ethiopian Airlines does not have a flight leaving for Dulles on Monday. Hence we choice to get to Addis Ababa on Sunday night and get our children on Monday at this point I just want to hold my boys and a couple of extra days in Ethiopia isn't the end of the world. We will have several days were we can just relax - maybe even go to the Hilton pool?
At this point we are hoping to stay at the New Flower Guest House, I guess we will see about that on Monday.
If you have any questions along the way please let me know I will be more than happy to give you any insight I have. And yes I plan on updating my blog from Ethiopia so you can all follow along if you wish.

I'm so excited for your family! Congratulations!
Did you book through travel intrigue, or somewhere else?
Lindsey -
We booked through Travel Intrigue. Airfares are what we expected round trip $1416, one way for Kaleab of $1076 and for Isaac to be on our laps it was $176.
Thank you for answering the questions! My next one is whether or not you guys want "visitors" at the airport? :-)
I'm very nervous and can't even imagine how you're feeling! I'm so excited for you to be able to go meet your boys. :)
Hey- Did you guys get reservations at the new flower? I recieved an email from them today that they are booked up. ;( I guess we won;t be staying there....
Do we have the go-ahead from Kurt/Alemu to stay at the New Flower-- I so wish we could all get travel dates so that we could make reservations before places are booked!!!
Lindsey -
We did get reservations for the New Flower Guesthouse, I guess we were lucky. I was hoping that you would be there as well :( Has Kurt given you a travel date, I hope that you are traveling with us!!
Karen,
I would love to see you at the airport. I will give you more details in the next week or so, but I totally understand if you are unable to be there, since it is the day before Thanksgiving.
