Very Long Flight


We left the house at 10 a.m. as planned and met Greg and Ethan at 11 at Pearson. Two hour wait at Pearson, one hour flight to Washington, walk half a mile to the airport subway, ten minute high speed ride to terminal B, two hour wait, 7-1/2 hour flight to Dakar, Senegal, an hour on the tarmac to refuel, 7-1/2 hour flight to Johannesburg, twenty minute taxi to our (classy) suite. Finally stopped for a drink (hot chocolate for Ethan - South African beer/wine for the old folks) after 6 p.m. local time (noon EST)22 hours after takeoff.
Tomorrow we head to Kruger.
