Adding to the count down

We are adding to our count down to travel to Ethiopia. On Tuesday, we were down to nine days until departure to begin our journey to meet M. Today, on Thursday, we are at 21 days. We got an e-mail Tuesday night, stating that our travel group had to be postponed. We were quite shocked and disappointed. Wednesday we were just ready to be given another date to work towards, but it was a little iffy in the morning when we talked to the agency. It looks like, we are just going to be delayed two weeks and that we should just be leaving two weeks later....July 30th. I am not feeling totally confident that we will be traveling then, but that is where is stands now and we were able to change our tickets to the new dates.

So, despite plane tickets, hotel reservations, time arranged off work, house and pet sitters...we have had to reschedule all of that. Having two extra weeks isn't the end of the world, I just need to use them productively so I am more ready when the time does arrive. We can't complain too much, as the group leaving before us, got a call the night before they were scheduled to fly to Ethiopia and were told they wouldn't be able to go. That would be very, very, very upsetting.
