Trip Preparations

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

It's Tuesday, July 7th, and we're beginning to pack for our trip. It's the second trip to Maputo, Mozambique for Dr. Michele August-Brady and me. We've a presentation to do for the nursing association there - ANEMO, and have prepared a Portuguese-language version with the assistance of Dr. Maria Schantz, our Moravian colleague and partner in our work with ANEMO. Maria accompanied us in January, yet will be travelling to another part of the southern hemisphere this time - to the Amazon. We'll miss her, yet are excited about our trip!

We're leaving from Newark, heading to Atlanta. Then, from there it is a 16 hour flight to Johannesburg. We're taking a Mozambican Airlines, Linhas Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique...from there to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.
