Flights on Flights

Today, I began my South African journey starting at 10am and am not scheduled to arrive in Bloemfontein until midafternoon on July 27th (42 hours later). So far, I've played checkers with a middle-aged businessman on the flight to DC (we're BFFs now), and met some college-aged students going to Namibia, a neighboring country, for mission work. Currently, I'm waiting in the Dulles International Airport until my flight to Paris at 9:30pm. Riveting, I know.
