Going to Sudan!!!

Finally, the long awaited visa has arrived and I will be on my way to Sudan soon. Actually, the visa came in the day after I left for Syria, but there was no internet access where I was visiting in rural Syria, so I didn't find out until I returned to Damascus on Sunday.
I'm back in Lebanon now and plan on heading to leaving for Sudan on early Friday morning. Unfortunately for me, Friday also marks the start of Ramadan, a heavy travel period in this part of the world, and definitely not the best time to be flying standby. All of the flights for the next week and a half are overbooked, so I'll just show up at the airport and hope that some folks cancel at the last minute.

I'll post some reflections on my trip to Syria soon.
