first off, i just wanted to say thanks to people for actually commenting on my last post. it really is good to know that people out there bother reading my ramblings. nice!!<\/p>\n
so, right now i\u00c2\u00b4m typing in the frankfurt airport, where i\u00c2\u00b4ll be sleeping tonight. frankfurt is an expensive city, and i\u00c2\u00b4m only here for one night, so it seems like a waste to spend a ton of $$ on a hotel room. i\u00c2\u00b4ve never slept in an airport before, but it seems like this trip would almost be incomplete if i didnt try it at least once. sleeping in airports is in some ways a complicated task. there is actually a whole website devoted to this where people can write in and give tips for specific airports. lots of factors to consider. are the seats comfy? do they have armrests, or is it possible to sretch out across several seats? where are the quiet areas w\/ little traffic. which areas have loud vacuming at nihg or loud anouncements over the intercomt? which areas have carpeting? what is security like?? etc etc. this will definitely be an interesting little adventure.<\/p>\n
his stop in frankfurt is just a tiny part of the hellish torture we\u00c2\u00b4re putting ourselvs through to get to our next country. from africa, our next destination is south america. the shortest distance between two points maybe a straightline, but by airplane, the cheapest way betwen two points is often a zigzag. after searching for a long time, we found that the cheapest way to get to SA would be via 3 flights. here\u00c2\u00b4s what the next few days are like for me:<\/p>\n
fly mombasa, kenya to frankfurt, germany: 8 hours
\nsleep in frankfurt airport
\nfly frankfurt, germany to fort myers, florida: 10 hours
\nrent car. drive from fort myers to miami, sleep in miami
\nfly miami, florida to panama city: 3 hours
\nfly panama city to buenos aires, argentina: 7 hours<\/p>\n
yes. it\u00c2\u00b4s gonnabe a hell of a trekk.<\/p>\n
once in argentina we’re going to stay in south america for the rest of our trip till we run out of money. i’m thinking we can hopefully make it strech a tiny bit over 2 months. we\u00c2\u00b4ll probably spend about 3 weeks in argentina, then 3 weeks in bolivia, and then 3 weeks in peru. can’t wait!!<\/p>\n
