Travel Plans

We will be leaving on Friday, December 7th for Namibia. Our plans are to stay in Namibia for 13 months. Liz will be working at the University of Namibia, and the girls will be going to school. Alice and Maxine will be attending Windhoek International School and Ruby will be attending pre-primary at St. George's. We are all excited, and a bit nervous.

Since this is a LONG trip, we are going to break it up with several layovers. We will spend 3 days in Amsterdam, staying in a large youth hostel. Maxine is especially excited about visiting the Anne Frank House, and we are planning on doing a special kids' tour of the Van Gogh Museum. We then take a 12 hour flight from Amsterdam to Capetown, South Africa. We will stay in a Guest House there for two days. We will arrive in Windhoek on Friday, December 14th. The director of the social work department will pick us up and bring us to our new home.

We are now very busy packing up our house and our offices. We can only take 44 pounds per person, which is about the amount you can fit in a large suitcase.
