...and off I go!

I am on my way to PEMBA!!! Finally after a 3 month absence I will see my friends, my house and my dog again! I'm SO excited!

My 4x4 is packed to the roof with stuff - bags and bags (and bags and bags) of groceries for me, airplane mechanic tools for our resident plane mechanic, 80kgs of dogfood for my puppy, a bag we have named 'behemoth' for my housie, boxes and boxes of books for our Bible School in Pemba, a generator, 2 large speakers, microphones, and a mixing desk (basically a full sound system) for the Iris base in Chimoio, a keyboard for the Iris base in Dondo, a gate for my house, more bags of groceries for my fellow missionaries, large storage boxes for another missionary, a microwave (for me), 5 LARGE bags of clothes donated for the flood victims, and last but not least: 4 jerry cans of fuel for my truck!

We are leaving at 5am on Saturday morning, and my ETA is either LATE Monday night, or lateish on Tuesday night...

Here is my planned route (for those of you who wish to look it up on a map):

Sat 17 : Maputo - Inhassoro
Sun 18 : Inhassoro, across the Zambezi by ferry - Mocuba
Mon 19: Mocuba - Pemba

Please pray for a safe, hassle-free journey!
