Lauriana called us this morning from Dulles Airport (Washington D.C.) where the Malawi team was making a connection to Orlando. She only got to talk about 3 minutes, but she was excited and emotional. She said she couldn't wait to see us (of course) that the trip was AWESOME!!! and that she wanted pizza, milk and oreos to eat when she got home. I've read other team reports where they says what they are looking forward to most is flush toilets and hot showers. Most, if not all, the teams have been in pretty rustic conditions, camping out, washing clothes (and themselves) in a bucket and using latrines.

By the time I publish this, she will have landed in Orlando unless there's a flight delay. I think she was scheduled to land at 2:20 p.m. today, then ride the bus to Merritt Island, FL which is about 60 miles east of Orlando on the Space Coast, as it's called, for debrief. Then she comes home to Tulsa Wednesday! We can't wait. I think we may be having pizza for dinner Wednesday night.
