I look forward to more. It's good to hear that your driver had such a great sense of humour.<br /><br />JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989466282881739783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-43022027814200108422010-09-20T14:40:42.415-06:002010-09-20T14:40:42.415-06:00Hi, just came across you blog.

Have you ever read "There is no me without you?" It is a book about that orphanage and some of the orphans who have been adopted out of there. I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I want to adopt from there in the future.<br /><br />Hope everything is going well for you.Livyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106393530089789164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-32603738112235337882010-09-17T22:11:24.623-06:002010-09-17T22:11:24.623-06:00Those guys!

Something to watch for the next time we go!<br /><br />To Ramona, no it's not too late to blog your trip. You still should. Sometimes I feel like blogging about our trip. But that's WAY too late.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465229000480346898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-38492298519765521412010-09-13T12:01:39.364-06:002010-09-13T12:01:39.364-06:00Oh my.

I love how they connect with everyone and treat each of us like we're their family and not just another family. <br /><br />Way to go on starting your trip. 6 months later I'm thinking it's too late to blog it.<br /><br />RamonaRamonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543009756679073312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-76291204241293175482010-09-12T20:36:21.526-06:002010-09-12T20:36:21.526-06:00That is soooo funny.

The drivers are so much more than drivers, they are family, brothers.<br />Debbie.<br /><br />P.s.

We were over at the entrance to Cloud 9 with another couple and our babies and Ketema snuck up and pickpocketed Kristin's wallet out of his jeans pocket! Kris had a little freak out, and whipped around to see Ketema laughing hysterically, when we asked how he knew we were there, he said, "well, you're the only white people around" and then laughed and laughed. <br /><br />Oh I miss them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-49113528651868450062010-09-12T12:46:21.451-06:002010-09-12T12:46:21.451-06:00Those guys are nuts.

Before we left to meet Mikiyas Ketema told us that actually it was going to be in the afternoon (this was like 8:30/9:-00am and we were all waiting in the lobby!). HA!! After over 3 years!!! I was trying to "go with" the new plan, but I'm thinking our faces must've given us away cause they within seconds told us they were kidding and we were going...good gracious! With all the times I heard "change of plans", it could have been completely true. That being said, they are some of the most special, gracious people we've ever met.Tracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-25305257136284131352010-09-12T09:05:01.224-06:002010-09-12T09:05:01.224-06:00bah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

One night as I was booking breakfast, the receptionist told me no food was being served the next day, as Monday was 'fasting day'. I was stunned but told them I was glad I had food in my room....crackers and such. They busted out in laughter....the punks! Too funny. I'm just surprized they did that to you the first night....courageous!<br />Miss them.<br />HeatherHeather Blakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583726323787008213.post-36977024038558104022010-09-12T08:54:25.327-06:002010-09-12T08:54:25.327-06:00That is hilarious!
