Flight Itinerary

So it definitely feels real now. The plane tickets have been purchased and boy, is it going to be rough. Upside: including connections, we will be touching ground in 6 different African countries. I am a map nerd so that excites me a great deal. Downside: 21 flying hours from Indy to Zambia, 18.5 flying hours from Kenya to Indy.

Here is the scoop:

Getting there
--------------------------------
Friday, May 16th
Indy to Atlanta - 1:34
Atlanta to Dakar, Senegal - 8:55 (landing at 4:40am Senegal time)

Saturday, May 17th
Dakar, Senegal to Johannesburg, South Africa - 8:35
Johannesburg to Lusaka, Zambia - 2:00
--------------------------------

Zambia to Kenya
--------------------------------
Saturday, May 31st
Lusaka to Johannesburg - 2:10
Johannesburg to Nairobi, Kenya - 4:00
--------------------------------

Getting home
--------------------------------
Sunday, June 22nd

Lagos to Atlanta - 11:55
Atlanta to Indy - 1:40
--------------------------------

*Collapse*

That is only 5 weeks, not the 6 we were originally planning. We were trying to plan a trip to Ethiopia for the final week, but it didn't work out. That means I don't have to go back to work a day after we get back. Wooh frequent flyer miles!

Counting down...
