Alaska??

So I never imagined that my itinerary to SE Asia would include a journey via Alaskan Airlines....but such is reality! And having an itinerary means that the good news of course is this--my funding is all in, and I am headed to CAMBODIA! The time has actually come! It has been good to see God's provision throughout this process and now to see His timing as well.

Back to itineraries: I leave exactly four weeks from today, on November 17th (a Monday). I'll leave Denver at 8:00 am to fly to Seattle--this would be the Alaskan portion of the trip (too bad I can't take a side trip up through Anchorage or something :) ). From Seattle I head to Seoul, Korea, via Asiana Airlines, and from there directly to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I land in Cambodia around 11:00 pm on Tuesday, the 18th. People always ask how long the trip actually takes, and I have never done the math, but I believe it's right around twenty-four hours of travel. The upside of long flights is that they still serve you food en route, and even for those of us who fly economy class, there are movie, game, tv, and music choices galore to keep us busy when we are not trying to snooze. Anyone who feels inspired can pray that I also get to sit in as many window seats as possible as I travel :)

So yes--the long awaited time is here. God is good. Thanks--many thanks--to all of you for all of your help and support and interest and prayers! Only another month until you get real live Cambodian updates!
