“Step off the edge and Fly…” (jonathan david helser)
As I realized how close I am to going to Brasil, I decided today that I needed to get some things done before I go. First thing, typing up my itinerary and all my important information for myself and my mom, as usually do before going anywhere.
So I go on Orbitz to check my itinerary. Looked fine until I checked the details. Apparently my flight back to the US had changed considerably from what I had booked.
I was supposed to be flying out of Rio, to Sao Paulo, and on to Newark.
My itinerary change was as follows: Fly out of Sao Paulo, to Rio, then to Houston. Then get beamed back down to Sao Paulo 10 hours later to catch a flight to Newark the next day. Yeah, they had me somehow getting back to Sao Paulo, but no flight there, and also flying out of Rio using the Sao Paulo airport.
Who knows.
I mean, I wouldn’t complain about getting a few more days in Brasil or getting stuck there forever, but it would have been nice to know about the change. Good thing I checked my flight online and not just from my email. Or else I would’ve had an adventure in August.
My flight is fixed now. I’m going from Rio (yes, real Rio, not the Sao Paulo airport in Rio) to Houston, and on to Newark.
Houston is a good entry airport– they have Starbucks. I believe its on concourse D. Haha, that was Jacob and my re-entry point from Ecuador, we spent like 3 hours in that Starbucks. Ahhhh, fun times. I remember we called my mom and looked at funny names in the Bible.
Moral of the story, check your flights online if you ever fly. Or you may go on a little adventure.
