Journal Entry: 730pm - in the air, somewhere over South America.
On the final stretch to Quito! I can't begin to explain the amazing adrenalin-fueled day I've had so far. 230am alarm, 345 airport arrival - still going strong! The excitement is contagious.
We departed from the new American Departure gate at EIA without incident, which is amazing considering the sheer amount of equipment we are hauling. The flight to Houston was quick, and a 4-hour lay over in theair MALL-port was a good bonding time with the team, over burgers and fries of course! There are other ''youngin's'' here, but I found myself very included across the group dynamics.
As we fly, slight weariness is combated by a breath-taking sunset that illuminates the sky from blue to deep red. We also managed a peak at the ocean just before it was overcome by night. Our southern descent was first hinted at in the Houston airport were the humidity was certainly evident - au naturale hair is the way to go!!
Currenly the team is rather awake, leaning across seats and chit-chatting with other members. Perhaps the limited sleep and excessive caffiene has provided us a final surge of energy? I hope so, because customs and baggage pickup are up next...
But right now, I'm content being thousands of miles in the air - sleep deprivation, lack of personal plane space, new friendships - this is what an adventure is!!
That's all for now - I apologize for any spelling errors, everything is in Spanish so spellcheck doesn't work so well :)
Cheers!
