So I made it to Malawi after 28 hours of traveling. Things I have discovered that I hate about airplane travel sum up the traveling experience:
5. Getting there 2 hours early!!! I think this is a money making scheme so travelers buy more food as we sit and wait.
4. The constant amount of snack, drinks and gross meals that the flight attendants give out. They even interrupt your sleep. They looked very angry when my neighbor did not want his hot towel towards the end of the flight.
3. Sitting next to someone for 6 hours and having them talk nonstop.
2. Sitting next to someone for 17 hours and not saying a single word but having them climb practically on you to use the restroom. (awkward)
1. People who get airsick should (1) not fly or (2) not eat while they fly. It just gives them more ammunition.
But it’s all worth it in the end to get someplace new!!!
Glad you got there safe. I agree wholeheartedly with number 1. On my last flight to Sacramento I almost got barfed on. Of course it was an infant though so I guess you can't really get mad at a baby. But her mother kept feeding her hoping for a different outcome. It remained the same. :-) Keep letting us know how everything is going.
