Fingers Crossed. . .
Robert here, this came in last night:
"Heading to the airport shortly. Fingers crossed no glitches. . ."
After a 24 hour flight delay (due to a bird apparently being sucked into one of the plane's engines in Brussels. . .) Helen's departure from Burundi appears to be back on track. At last report she was scheduled to depart Bujumbura at 9:00 PM Monday.
She hopes to be in NYC Tuesday afternoon by way of Nairobi and Brussels. After a night in New York, where she'll be giving talk to the TB Alliance on Wednesday, Helen then heads straight to the airport to fly to LAX (where she'll meet up with our friend Becky who is coming to Australia for the first time) and then on to Sydney and finally touch down in Cairns Friday afternoon, where I'll scoop her up and bring her up the Gillies and finally have her home here on the Tablelands for a little while.
I figure she'll either jump straight into the lake or drop into bed. . . We'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Robert

Just got a call from Helen who was in New York City, looking forward to a hot shower. . . She'll be writing a posting and sending some photos for the blog soon.
