Bonjour,

I am back among the living today.  I still wasn't feeling very well this morning, but I am feeling much better this evening.  It was a good thing that we had an extra day to get everything packed up and put away any way.  
The kids have been pushing their backpacks around all day.  They are ready to go.  They might not be so ready after they have been in the car a while.
I was getting something out of the room where we sorted the stuff from the container.  Bonnie was helping me sort the other day.  She thought I was going to do some more sorting.  She said, "I think I smell some toys."  She is a mess.  I didn't know that toys had their own aroma.
We are planning to leave about 7:00 a.m. tomorrow for Ghana.  That should put us at the border around 10:00 and in Takoradi around 2:00.  If you don't hear from us for a couple days, don't worry.  We probably won't have internet access for a few days.  We will try to let you know of our safe arrival as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your prayers for safety on the roads as we travel.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
