    Lol , yeah .
    It's really not gonna make much sense to do that .

    I talked to them today again about our schedule because I wanted to know what this week's looks like , and I was told that they have an idea if we all would be into it.

    Basically one week I would have Saturday and a few hrs on Friday off , and then the next week I would have 3 days off.

    I am kinda liking the sound of that , but everyone has to go for it
     
    Tall Mike Thanks this.

    I am glad for you Mr. Red... that you found a good load/run... and out of the nasty nasty weather...:yes2557:

    Now... about the trip in the plane... IT'S ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!! Unless I would fly first class... or maybe business class which would cost me at least $ 3,500.00... :biggrin_2552: Delta economy class is extremely uncomfortable, seats are very small, very tight, they don't recline much anything and there's no leg room...:biggrin_25513: and I just can't sleep at all... :biggrin_25513: The plane was totally full... no empty seat to try to stretch... :biggrin_25512:

    My row was right behind business class...

    [​IMG]

    This time I paid $ 100.00 extra dollars to get some leg room in front of my seat but that didn't help much... :biggrin_25512:
    [​IMG]

    I still couldn't sleep all night long... :biggrin_25513::biggrin_2552:

    BTW, there was some problem with some other aircraft which caused us a 2 hr delay before departure... :biggrin_2552: And I had to devour my 2 lasagnas before plane took off...

    There was no overhead light above my seat... I wasn't interested in any movie... So, flight attendant gave me a flash light... kinda weird... very clumsy..

    [​IMG]

    So that I could read my magazines... all night long...

    Arriving in Brasilia - Brasil's federal capital...

    [​IMG]

    Got my luggage at luggage claim and proceeded to next air company check-in desk to get my board ticket and gave them my cargo luggage...

    At Brasilia international airport, waiting for my next plane to resume my trip to Fortaleza last Wednesday morning...

    [​IMG]

    Had to walk back and forth in the airport looking for my gate... :biggrin_25510: Cause they gave me wrong departure gate... :biggrin_2552:

    [​IMG]

    Had I not wandered around, I would have missed the plane cause there was nobody to give any info... :biggrin_25512:

    Continuation...

    Boarded on Boing 737-800 and headed to Fortaleza, capital of the state of Ceara, Brasil last Wednesday morning...

    [​IMG]

    A much smaller plane but more comfortable than Delta plane...

    [​IMG]

    That trip took almost 3 hrs... Arrived in Fortaleza in the afternoon and took a cab to the main bus terminal...

    [​IMG]

    At Fortaleza main bus terminal had time only for a very quick snack...

    [​IMG]

    And took the bus to the small town of Hidrolandia about 4:30 hrs away...

    [​IMG]

    Very comfortable bus the smell inside.... :biggrin_2552:

    [​IMG]

    Arrived in Hidrolandia at 19:30 local time and my dad and his driver were waiting for me...:biggrin_25519:

    His wife had a very nice guest bedroom for me...

    [​IMG]

    I totally collapsed at 21:00 local time and slept for 13 hrs... :biggrin_25518::biggrin_25518::biggrin_25518:
