Leaving in 6 days!!

I still can't believe I will be in Ethiopia in a week from now, FINALLY! Well we have made reservation at The Sidama Lodge this place was highly recommended by Alemu so hopefully it will be wonderful. We have booked a double room which means that there is 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sitting area and a kitchen, I will give you all an update on what we think of the Sidama Lodge after we have stayed there a couple of days. I think it is right downtown, with lots of resturants & interent cafes within walking distance. I have received a couple of pictures of Sidama Lodge if you would like to see it however, I do not know what the rooms look like.

Besides that we were quite busy this weekend. My sister-in-laws and mother-in-laws threw me a shower on Saturday, they did a great job and I extermly enjoyed it. Thanks everyone! Of course the boys will be spoiled by everyone when they get home.

Saturday night Mark and I met up with the Doug and his wife (her name is escaping me right now), they adopted a little boy from the Mother Therasa Orphange in Ethiopia last February, he had some major health concerns but he is doing remarkable today. It was nice to talk about their trip and get pointers on several places that we have to see, and places to eat at. I have my list ready to go.

Today we ran some last minute errands and trying to put our house back in order before we leave.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend and is ready for the week to begin.

I was wondering if you have a price list for the Sidama lodge and if so could you email it to me? My husband and I will probably be traveling after the new year...
