I said we did and he promptly drove over to our place with a pile of more stuff. Now, we had room for it and I got it all packed away, but MAN do we have a lot of stuff to give to people. An aunt in Dar. 5 books for a friend of a former student of Fabian. A WHOLE suitcase packed for Fabians friends and family in Mwanza ( his folks, his 9 siblings, and their children), and now half my carry-on is now DVD's and other gifts to people. I don't mind, as there are many people whom we have never met that are willing to do a lot for us. But still, the airport people are going to think we are crazy, checking three PACKED suitcases and with two FULL carry-ons.<BR/><BR/>"How long y'all gonna be over there?" they ask.<BR/><BR/>"Oh, just three weeks," we'll reply.<BR/><BR/>Silence and funny looks will ensue.Baldman76https://www.blogger.com/profile/10897350674029436242noreply@blogger.com
