Where in the world is Rwanda?

Rwanda is located in eastern Central Africa.

South of Uganda, west of Tanzania, north of Burundi, and east of of DR Congo.


Our flight on Feb. 7th will stop in Rome and then we have a 24 hr. layover in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia (yay-good food!).

I think we are scheduled to arrive in Rwanda by Feb. 10th.

We will be staying in Kigali, the capital in the very center of the country. Hopefully we will be able to do many day trips and see the countryside.

I'll keep you posted!!!

A sneak preview

Trip Planning

Just setting this site up so that I keep everyone updated on this once in a lifetime opportunity. I have never done a blog, in fact I've always hated the word blog...but it seems the best way for me to share my experience with you. As much as I'll be thinking of each of you while I am there, I want to spend my time taking it all in, and not writing individual notes....so stay tuned.

First up, starting a new job, finding a place to live, and moving (nothing major or anything). I hope we can get it all in time before we leave. For now Happy Holidays and I hope 2009 is exciting for all of us!!
