Adventure Begins (09/06/08)

Well my streak of starting of my summers and new jobs in an interesting way continued.
My boss/friend from the GSTC (Georgia Sea Turtle Center) graciously offered to drive me to the Jacksonville FL airport for my evening flight out (thanks again Stef) . She arrived around 4:00pm with her truck overheating a little due to a small leak in the radiator that she was going to have fixed soon. With a quick hose down with water and top off things got back to normal once we hit the road.
I arrived at the aiport with plenty of time to spare and no lines in ticketing or security which was nice so I had time to relax a little before my flights to the land of tomorrow :)

To keep things a little short here is a list of my flights with out much detail (feel free to ask for more if you wish):

JAX-Washington DC (IAD): 7:00pm left and arrived at 8:40pm (1hr 20min flight)

IAD-London Heathrow: Boarded plane dirrectly after arriving from JAX and arrived at 4:38am Eastern Standard Time 9:38 London time (6hr 38 min flight)

London-Johanesburg 8:54pm London time depart, arrive 7:31 am CAT (central african time) 10hr 37 min flight

All of the flights were not to bad and I managed to sleep on some, and I met my new boss Graham with no problems.

I staid the day/night at Graham and Emily's and we left for the bush/my new home the next morning. It took a little over 7 hrs of driving to get to Djuma and the Wild Earth camp.
