Ok, just a quick post for those of you following the saga. We took off from the US to Senegal with three tickets in hand for each family member, 12 pieces of checked luggage, a car seat and a stroller that were gate checked, and 7 carry-ons (we smuggled one on board). And of course after a few days of being here I realize that it is still not enough! No. What am I missing? My pots and pans, my linens (which are all coming in a few weeks...so they say), the second set of shower curtain hooks for Gusi's bathroom (both full baths have separate showers and bath tubs and so each bathroom needs two shower curtains), shower curtains for our bathroom, hangers, a decent cutting board, speakers to hook up our iPods to, magazines and books, our car and so much more.
But on the lighter side, taking taxis around town has been an adventure. Gusi and I took one to the American Club today for a play group that we got wind of just this morning. Gusi was chanting "Calle, calle" ("street, street", what he says when he wants to go out for a spin) the whole way there. It was rather amusing explaining to our driver that Gusi was happy to get out and about; and it entertained us as we zig-zagged through traffic and back roads with Gusi's chanting going on...already making friends in his new home.
More details to come later about the actual trip here. We're still waiting on getting our high speed internet hooked up. It should take another week. In sh'allah as they say.
