Well, the long awaited trip for Maddi's Make-A-Wish is finally about to happen. We had a wonderful party with our local trip coordinators Judy and her husband Steve. Talk about fun! They treated the entire family to pizza and spoiled the kids with tons of activities/toys for the long plane ride ahead. Special thanks to Tricia Litts, our Sacramento coordinator that made all of the arrangements for the trip. At the end of the evening, we were presented with a check to cover all of our expenses for the trip!
Here is the itinerary:
Sunday Morning 10/5/08:
Limo ride to SFO for an 8:15 flight to Minneapolis
Minneapolis to Amsterdam
Amsterdam to Nairobi. We arrive in Nairobi at 9:50pm local time after 26 hours of travel time. We will post and let you know how long it actually took....
Hopefully wake up on Tuesday and play with Giraffes....look here to see where we are going http://www.giraffemanor.com/
Wednesday through Sunday...Giraffes, Giraffes, Girafes...with maybe some elephants at the orphanage, the local warthogs, and a few trips into town to shop at the markets.
We will leave Nairobi on Sunday, October 12th at 10:00 pm local time and will arrive in SF after a layover in Amsterdam around 2:00 pm on Monday afternoon west-coast time.
Limo ride home and then dealing with the jet lag....
Please look for updates. We hope to keep this up to date better than when we went back east this summer.
Cheers,
Maddi and the Parker family
