Glimpses of our Life in Ghana

The ride to the airport. I stood in the airport. 12 totes on a stack, five carry ons, and six backpacks. Are we crazy trying this? Thankfully we had three adults. And three children! Kelsey kept a very watchful eye on her little brothers. Kenny took totes and all the passports to the check in counter.
