Flight to Brazil



The next day, after a fabulous breakfast paid for by United at the Wyndam Hotel, we managed to talk the hotel into adding an additional shuttle run for us to the airport. We did not know that their was a schedule in the morning. Fortunately, our rescheduled flight was also running behind, and we managed to get on despite having not been officially check-in when we were issued new tickets the night before. The flight itself was uneventful, except that one of the flight attendants thought we should fly in cave-like environment, and scolded us anytime she caught us raising the shades to look out the window and allowing light to enter the cabin from the outside. We did manage to get a few good peeks at the Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River and the city of São Paulo in between movies and naps. It's not like she could ask us to leave.

  2. Rebecca thinks that flight attendant must have misunderstood the captain when he said you might want to close the shades in order to take a nap. I'll admit, the sun was very bright and would make watching the in-flight movie difficult. But she was very insistent that we needed to keep the shades down.
