We woke up at 4:30 am in Washington DC- packed up- filled the rental vans with gas- loaded all our luggage- 8 crates, golf clubs, 2 computer boxes, 1 suitcase and one extra-large dog crate- in the Budget shuttle and we were off.
It took over an hour for Erik to check us all in and get Peterson's crate inspected, taped up and say "goodbye" to Petey. After all that the Ethiopian Airlines manager asked us where the water bottle was?? We told him we had bottled water and a bowl in the bag taped to the crate- "Not good enough". Erik hopped in a taxi headed to Petco with 2 hours to spare, 8am. He arrives at Petco to find the lights on, 1 car in the parking lot and the doors shut. That did not stop my man. He opened the doors and the manager came running to him explaining that the store did not open until 10am. After much discussion, Erik convinced him we really needed a water bottle for the dog's crate.
Needless to say, we are all exhausted and ready for a nap already.
We will be in Ethiopia in about 16 hours- we will spend Monday there then fly to Lusaka Tuesday morning.
