I'm loving this story and anxiously await details of the trip. Meanwhile, HFN should check out The Diner as I'm sure there's a helpful thread on the best eateries in Addis Ababa.Comment

We will be there 5 days. The timeline to bring him home is 5-10 weeks after this trip. It has to be finalized by the Ethiopian govt then go through some process with the US embassy so that he will be an American citizen from the moment we get him.Originally posted by LiveCoug View PostGet confident, stupid
