Arrived Home Safely Sat. July 8th, 2006
The flight was uneventful. I slept most of the way. I sat next to my brother and we did not kill each other!!! I was so tried, I do not even remember taking off in Rome. We just made our flight connection in Addis Abba. Bryan had planned to do some shopping, but had just a few minutes to do so.
We arrive in DC on time and would have gotten through customs quickly, but my brother brought a cane with him as a carryon. They took it from him in Nairobi and said they would check it through to Washington. We waited until all the luggage had come off and then we were one of the last on the plane to clear customs. He did not get his cane. I am sure he will some how end up on top! If you see him, make sure to ask him about his cane!!!
I then decided that I would stay at the airport to see if I could get an earlier flight to Florida to meet my family. I was lucky and got on a 2:00 pm flight.
I have never been so excited to see my family. Megan tackled me and Kyle just giggled and jumped in to my lap. They looked so much bigger. The tears of joy were flowing as I hugged my kids and Charley!
I have arrived home safely and pray that the rest of the team does as well.
They have all arrived home safely!!!

Bethany, Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I read every word and looked a long time at each picture. Your journey was so amazing and so inspiring. I know God has and will bless you and your family for all they have done. My heart is broken for those you touched, and my prayer is that others will give of themselves and reach out to those who can never repay their efforts. Only God can will be able to repay you, and I am sure he already has in wonderful ways.
Good luck in Lynchburg. I know we will think of you often. Thanks again for sharing. If you go again while I am still at ACSB, please email me.
Blessings to you. Godspeed in all you do.
