So I had many connecting flights that made this Journey very long.
Buffalo-> Minneapolis-> DC-> Johannesburg-> Livingstone
The flight to Johannesburg was 17 hours, 8 hours to Dakar and then 8 to J-burg. Then once we got to J-burg we had a 17 hour layover, which resulted in staying at a very nice hotel with exceptional juice and breakfast. Leaving my family and friends at the airpoirt was bittersweet but knowing what is ahead of me keeps me going. Soon enough I’ll be back in the states reminiscing on the summer…
So now I write as we head to Livingstone, drinking apple juice and enjoying good company.
