On holiday

We leave tomorrow morning at 7am for the airport in Kinshasa, where we depart for Nairobi. So begins a 16-day vacation that my wife and I have both been looking forward to for quite some time. We were able to get most of the details nailed down for the trip. I need to pack my giant backpack tonight but since I didn't bring a whole lot with me to Kinshasa to begin with, I don't think it will take long to root through my possessions to find a few changes of clothes, some books, and the charger for my digital camera.

Following up from my last post, after a very frustrating Friday and Saturday we finally found a place to live. There are two apartments opening up in our apartment complex in January. This makes our life a lot easier since we didn't have to move before our trip, and when we do move in January it's only a matter of carrying our things a few hundred feet rather than driving across town.

Not much else to report for now - a lot of our friends have headed or are heading out of town for the rest of the month, so we're glad to be getting out of here as well. Otherwise it could be a very boring second half of December. I hope to be able to blog a bit while on vacation, but if I don't, merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone out there reading.
