Somewhere after leaving Abidjan
it became today. Overnight flights
can be a little disconcerting. There
was something great that happened on this flight however. It was nearly empty. I had a complete center section to
myself! It was better than first
class since I could completely stretch out all 6’2” and sleep. What a deal.
They fed us a small sandwich
on the 1 hour flight from Monrovia to Abidjan last night. Then they fed us a full dinner shortly
after takeoff so I was quickly saturated with heavy food. They do this to make you sleepy so you
will not bother them during the night.
It works. Shortly before
landing they gave us a Danish with orange juice
and coffee/tea. It never occurred to
me that I could simply say “no” to any of these meals that I choose.
Arriving in Brussels has
become routine and simple. You don’t
have to take your shoes off here which, after a long flight, is probably a
good thing.
I had signed up for some internet
time in Chicago O’Hare on the way over using a service called Boingo. There
was still some time left and I was able to get connected in Brussels. That’s great because at the internet café
here in the airport they charge 20 Euros for the day.
So, for now, I’m sitting her
updating the journal and waiting 11am (it’s 7:25am here right now).
