My trip to Brazil began yesterday.
After a TON of last minute running around, Igot to the airport for my 4:40 flight to Newark at 3:10. Then I found out is was cancelled, but there was a 2:30 that was delayed so we got on that. It wound up leaving at 5pm. The plane ride (apparently) was very rocky. I was totally asleep for the majority of the ride. The guy on the seat next to me didn't fair so well, he was sick (i think). At a certain point, I woke up and he was vomitting and I started gagging then i went back to sleep.
Yuck. In anycase, I barely remembered it.
Got to Newark and then on to Sau Paulo at 10pm. I was sitting next to a quiet guy, it was a 9 hour flight. I slept probably 8 of the 9 hours..I was happy about that.
I didn't get to my hotel until around noon today. So that is 21 hours of traveling. wow.
I just ate at this fantastic Italian restaurant attached to the hotel. I had steak and gnocci..so good.
Tonight we are going to try some authentic Brazillian Pizza so that should be great! One of my Brazillian colleauges is going to take out for that.
I am tired now, just finished watching a few week old episode of House. It is in English with Portuguese subtitles, now Law and Order is on..well. I might try to get in a little nap before dinner.
Oh the weather is fantastic here!
