Paris
After much running around yesterday and much help from various postal workers in Mississippi, we did get our passports and visas in time to get to the New Orleans airport, where we were promptly bumped onto a later flight!
Flew to Houston and then overnight to Paris. Linden, my 10-year-old daughter, watched Kung Fu Panda and I watched Sideways, still as good on the second viewing. She read a book about dragons and I read a book by Michael Chabon. Arrived safely and started using our French!
We are now in a hotel by the Paris airport since we have a layover. Tomorrow morning we go to Zurich and then to Yaounde, the captial of Cameroon. We should arrive in Cameroon in the evening to be met by Embassy personnel. Long journey!
I'm worried I'll forget to have us take our malaria medicine in the morning, so we are going to do it tonight. May as well get started!

getting passports is such a pain. my wife and I just applied for ours to go to Mexico, for the first time and her name was spelled wrong on hers. It has taken months and months. I'm glad we waited until we got them back to plan the trip
