I dropped Cara off at the airport today for her 2:55 flight to D.C., and everything went fairly smoothly. I just got a call from her, she’s in the Dulles airport and has met most of the people on the team (all nice so far), and she is getting ready to board her Air France flight to Paris. From Paris, she heads to Cameroon.

I heard a bit of trivia from Cara today on the way to the airport. She wanted me to make sure to tell Jay that she brought her long john’s with her. To Africa. When I pointed out that no one in their right mind brings LONG JOHN’S to the EQUATOR, she told me that the first time that she ever owned a pair of long john’s was when she went to Kenya. She specifically bought her first-ever pair of long john’s to travel to Africa.

That tells you how hot it is in Houston!

I’ll be sure to post a note here to let you know when Cara arrives in Cameroon (they are supposed to notify me), and she left a message for me to put up here for all of you, as well.
