We left Tuesday morning for Ethiopia. The first leg was from Phoenix to Washington DC. And speaking of legs, there was very little room for mine on that plane. Very uncomfortable.
The flight itself was uneventful though, and we arrived in a chilly DC just fine.
Ethiopian Air put us up in the Sheraton overnight, about eight grades above they hotels we usually stay in. The next morning we were up bright and early to head back to the airport. Spotted our 777 across the terminal.
We got to ride in these big ol' Conestoga wagons the day before. I am seriously considering one of these for our next family vehicle.
The big bird.
Much more legroom on this one. The airplane was super nice, and brand new.
Holy big engines batman! Hope some engineers did a really good job on their burst testing.
Feet wet. Somebody identify this piece of land for me. they had a fancy inflight map... but it never worked the whole flight.
For most of the flight over the Atlantic, the ocean seemed to be filled white spots. Waves? They didn't seem to be moving. Icebergs? Really? Whatever it was, they were everywhere!
Sunset somewhere over the mid-Atlantic.
We made landfall again in the middle of the night. I have no idea where.
Then sunrise again, north of Addis Ababa.
Lake Tana.
Approach to Addis.
Coming into Addis.
Hard to believe that two plane flights, and we are on another continent, and in another world.
