Itinerary

We've known that our trip was going to take place the first two weeks of August, but we were unsure of exact dates because we had to wait and see which days would be the least expensive for our flights. And we WERE going to have to wait to book our flights until we had enough fundraising done to purchase everyone's tickets -- but thankfully Austin Stone Community Church has offered to finance our trip for us -- thus allowing us to go ahead and buy plane tickets and then pay back the church as our support money comes in. SO... two days ago, flights were booked and we got our official itineraries! Note that there has been a slight change in plans from what I original said: instead of staying in Nairobi for two nights for our post-Sudan debrief, we'll just be there one night on the way back, followed by a night in London for our debrief. I'm a little bummed we'll have less time in Nairobi, but excited to hopefully see at least a small bit of London! Below are travel plans from Austin to Nairobi. From there we'll be taking a smaller, charter flight from Kenya into Sudan.

DEPARTURE:
- Leave Austin, Friday August 1, 11:32am... arrive at Washington/Dulles 3:48pm
- Leave DC 6:26pm... arrive at London/Heathrow Sat. Aug. 2nd, 6:55am
- Leave London 10:20am... arrive in Nairobi 8:50pm

RETURN:
- Leave Nairobi, Sunday August 17th, 11:35am... arrive at London/Heathrow 6:30pm
- Leave London, Monday August 18th, 10:50am... arrive at Washington/Dulles 2:18pm
- Leave DC 6:55pm... arrive in Austin 9:14pm

Add it up folks, and that's gonna be just 3 minutes shy of 40 hours of flying! Plus our charter flight to and from Sudan. Looks like I'm gonna need at least a couple good books to pass the time.
