The first time I went to Africa was also the first time I ended up in New York City. One of my sisters and her husband were living in Manhattan at the time, I had a 10-hour layover on the way back home to Montana.

When she opened the door of their apartment, she said, "I bet your glad to be back in the United States!"

I said, "I'm not there yet!"
