I heard from Felicity yesterday - am I available to go to Togo on the 16th?  I am available.

An hour or so later, I got confirmation of my airline tickets.  Boston to Chicago, Chicago to Brussels, Brussels to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, Abidjan to Lome, Togo.  Carl and I are scheduled to meet with the rest of the "team" in Lome on the 19th and 20th and our return flights start in the middle of the night on Sunday the 24th and go from Lome to Brussels to Chicago to Boston.  Arriving home on Monday the 25th in the middle of the afternoon.  I'll probably miss the Selectmens meeting.
