Day 1 “Sleepless in the Air”


So we arrived at the airport in Chicago on time, thankfully. We had 13 bags to check in and without time to weigh them it was a little chaotic.  Fortunately the attendant at the counter was lenient and we only had to pay for 1 overweight charge and an extra baggage charge.  Once we had check our bags we roamed around the airport for lunch. Our flight didn’t board until 520pm so we had some time to kill since we arrived at noon. You can tell we all had little to no sleep the last couple of days before the trip. This is Lance passed out waiting to board. Also, this is Matt excited to find the peanut M&M s that we stashed in Lance’s carry on. And this is Rachel and I waiting anxiously our departure.
 
The sleep was not the best but we had 150+ fellow travelers on board. Every time we went on the plane we seemed to find friends. On the flight to London we met a women and her daughter who started a business in Gahanna selling clothes.  All in all, we got as much sleep as we could and were all very excited for our final destination, Africa.
