Sitting in the airport, we spot a "Skyband Hotspot" wireless sign and realize we actually have an active skyband card with us, so here I am positing from my last moments in Malawi.
We're pretty ridiculously laid back considering the upcoming week + of travel and transatlantic move. As we always seem to, we planned and stressed way in advance, made to do lists and crossed things off. We must be getting better at this "massive life change" stuff, though, because we were in total ready-to-go, chill-with-friends mode starting at around 1:30 yesterday. The fact that a routing change knocked a ground-stop in Lubumbashi off our itinerary at the last minute was a sweet bonus, and we spent our extra two hours playing Wii bowling and lunching at a cafe. Not sure if the months of stressing over next steps and logistics were worth it, but it sure feels like it right now.
The last week has been somewhat hilarious. There's no opportunity now to post pictures of Nathaniel eating dinner with a giant wooden spoon after we sold all our flatware, or of my students taking their social studies exam under the tree, or of Nathaniel sleeping on a 6 foot beanbag in our three nights at our friends' place, but you can hold your breath in anticipation of in-person stories sometime soon.
