After 3 weeks of packing, moving out of my townhouse and lots of help from sister Linda, and friends Paul and Cynthia, I flew from SFO to Frankfort to Abuja to Yola, Nigeria. I took 4 huge pieces of luggage, carry on and travel guitar. Everything arrived in Yola, and all intact even with my bag with hard drives being dropped out of the van. I was met by a large friendly group from AUN (American University of Nigeria).
