goodbye Grantham!

It's 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19th.  I'm sitting in my sunny office on main campus in Grantham, PA, finishing up the last few items on my list before meeting others in our group at 2 p.m. to head to Dulles International Airport!  We'll rendezvous with the rest of the group at the British Airways ticket counter and head through security together.  Our flight to London leaves at 8:45 p.m. this evening, and we're on our way!

As we won't most likely have internet access again until Friday (May 22), I'll give you an overview of what we'll be doing the next few days!

We'll arrive in London around 9 a.m. (their time), and will spend the day tomorrow (Wed) sightseeing around the city, including (but not limited to) Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and hearing Big Ben chime on the hour!

Our flight leaves Heathrow at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday evening and will arrive into Johannesburg, South Africa at 9 a.m. Thursday morning.  We'll then fly to Livingstone, Zambia, arriving around 1 p.m. Thursday.  We'll spend Thursday night at a backpackers lodge named Jolly Boys in Livingstone and will leave around 9 a.m. Friday morning to make the five hour drive to the Macha Malaria Institute, arriving by mid-afternoon.  We'll then spend the rest of the day on Friday settling into our new home for the next few weeks!

We covet your prayers for safe and uneventful travels!
