The flight from Houston to Dubai actually wasn't too bad. Since we had a 13-hour layover, the airline gave us a hotel room and it was really nice to be able to sleep in a real bed. We got up and got to the airport without any difficulties. We flew to Ethiopia to make a stop and to refuel the plane or whatever they were doing. While we were in Ethiopia they discovered a mechanical problem with one of the engines and after sitting around for a few hours they cancelled our flight. It was super frustrating, but we finally figured out what was going on. The airline sent us to the Hilton Hotel in Ethiopia and so we are staying there for the night and should be leaving for Uganda in the morning. It was really funny because I met two people from GlobeMed (the club I am trying to start next year) who are going to Uganda to work with their partnering agency. Catie and I had dinner with them and are hanging out with them. Hopefully we will make it into Uganda tomorrow.
