5:00 am in California and 2:00 pm in Malawi -- this text from Dana -- "Everyone is fine. All the bags made it! Our flight changed and was 2.5 hours early. Long story."

They were waiting at the airport and asked me to email Louise. Minutes later she arrived at the airport. I'm sure she'll reach their bus driver and get them to the Madidi Lodge, where they are staying tonight.

More to come when I get the "long story."
