manaus_jungle.jpgI thought coming back from the Ivory Coast was long (Ivory Coast to Togo, Paris, JFK and then SLC), but returning from Manaus gets the award for worst travel itinerary ever. I will think over the merits of cheap tickets more carefully next time…

  • Manaus: arrived at airport 1:30am, left at 3:20am
  • Brasilia: arrived at 5:00am, left at 5:45am
  • Rio de Janeiro: arrived at 9:20am, left at 8:45pm!
  • Miami: arrived at 4:15am, left at 7:25am
  • Dallas/Ft. Worth: arrived at 9:30am, left at 10:45am
  • Salt Lake City: arrived at 12:30pm

p.s. Yes, I’ve updated my world travels map to include Brazil. What does your Google Travel Map look like?

p.p.s. “Please place your seat back in its upright condition and stow away tray tables for take off.” WHY?!?
