where are you going and for how long?
As soon as I posted on Facebook that I'd booked a one-way ticket to Ethiopia I was flooded with questions - questions that did not have thoughtful responses yet.
Where are are you going?
How long will you be gone?
What are you doing?
I should have known better, but alas, I'm ready to share!
