Tino, the man of the moment

9th November 2015:

We head off to Malawi on Friday November 13 for another three weeks.
This will be be my 36th visit, Mary missed the last one because of this little man, who then couldn't wait (to be born)before I returned.
Mary was packing her bag and couldn't resist trying him for size in her hand luggage.
His mam, Caitriona, of course extracted him pretty quickly even though he looked real comfortable in his cozy blanket.
Looks like Mary will have to manage for three weeks, without him. Of course she will be missing the other five grandchildren as well.
Caitriona was here on a mission to get our Ethiopian air miles sorted, and she did. 
THEN she got us an upgrade on our flight from Dublin to Addis, and for once in 36 trips get the luxury of a sleep in Business Class.
Because we have a 100% promise to our donors, that is 100% of their donations get all the way to our projects, we always pay for our own flights and all expenses, so naturally we take the cheapest flights.
Now thanks to Sheeba air miles (Ethiopian) and a very persistent daughter, we fly in real comfort, and rest before  the long flight from Addis to Lilongwe, and the 400 km drive to Mzuzu after we arrive.
