Finished up the trip late Friday, went back to the hotel to gather with all my blue blooded fellows and headed to the Sao Paulo International airport on a Friday night. The traffic was incredible - everyone leaves the city for the weekend and we were caught in the thick of it. 2 weeks ago when we arrived on a Saturday morning, the cab ride to the hotel took about 30 minutes. The return trip on a Friday night was 90 minutes.
The flight back wasn't as bad as the one heading down. Managed to get a bulk head seat and that was a big improvement. And I also knew what I was getting into (10+ hour flight), so my expectation was set. I almost finished watching "Long Way Down" on my iPhone - a neat motorcycle adventure story (staring Obi-Wan Kenobi as the lead rider - google it...)
Made all the connections on time, made it through customs without problem and my youngest son offered to pick me up for the final leg home. My home was immaculate, everything was clean and in order - not bad for turning the place over to 2 college boys for 2 weeks.
I had been jonesing for a 2-wheeled ride so very much, but it has snowed since I got home. Maybe, please Lord! - I will get to ride before heading back South on Saturday. Stayed tuned for Brazil II!
I added a few last photos to the Picasa album from the trip.
