We left Bakersfield at 9am on Thursday, even though our plane didn’t leave from LAX until 4pm. We left early because the Grapevine (the mountain ridge we cross to get to L.A.) was closed on Wednesday. We followed four snowplows through the snowiest part but made it through. Right after we got over the Grapevine, they closed it down again. Thank You, Lord!
We met our new friends from Huntington Beach, Nick & Becky Fisher, at LAX. We’re on all the same flights together. We flew straight to Dubai. It was a great flight, the nicest we’ve ever been on. We each had our own screen to watch movies and play games. They even gave the kids activity books with colored pencils and hand puppets. They’re saving the puppets to give to Tryana & Kalysta.
We arrived in Dubai around 8pm here. The six of us got a taxi and took a little tour of the city. We saw dancing water, the largest shopping mall, and the tallest skyscraper in the world. The buildings are so huge here. It was a quick tour but definitely worth it! Now we’re back at the hotel and ready to sleep so that we are ready for our two flights tomorrow and our arrival in Rwanda!

ReplyDeleteYeah! I've been checking feverishly for an update! I'm so glad that you made it throught the Grapevine! And that the flight went well. Sounds like a really cool flight actually. I hope and pray that the next leg of your trip goes smoothly as well.
