I want to get over there too, and to Eritrea. Know a few folks from there, wonderful people, great culture. Also want to get to Mali and see the Dogon temples.
Why?
Thanks for the input but I rather go for myself and see the country.

I need another job to fund this trip :o)
Ford made a Starliner (hardtop 2 door coupe), a Skyliner (retractable hardtop convertible), but I don't think they ever had a Dreamliner.
You are from Wisconsin, the only culture up there is in the cheese. That and very friendly obese women.
Visiting a foreign culture is good, and Ethiopian Airlines has always been a good carrier, with a good record.
"Boeing (NYSE: BA - News) and Ethiopian Airlines today said the airline has increased its firm orders for the 787 Dreamliner to 10 airplanes by exercising purchase rights obtained with its initial order announced Feb 4. The airline is the first 787 customer to exercise purchase rights or options for the rapidly selling new Boeing jetliner."VERY GOOD U.S.A.AMERICA VERY GOOD thank you
Seattle has a large Ethiopian population. You can get injera and yemisir Wot practically on every corner, like Starbucks. ;-)
"I hope your boss's home has 20 foot high surrounding walls and is called a compound."
I recall the walls, and the compounds. Mostly wealthy Italians, presumably left over from WWII, live in the compounds. The walls have broken glass bottles cemented at the top.
Somewhere I have a picture of the Ethiopian Emperor visiting us in Asmara.
I'd love to go back.
