Day 1 - Thursday 9/17/09 - NYC to Johannesburg

The car picked us up from Mandy’s at 7:15 to head to JFK, and it only took us a half hour to get there which was much faster than we anticipated. We checked in, had some coffee and quickly went through security. We boarded South African Airways at 11. There were two seats empty in front of us, so I quickly moved there, so we each had two seats for the long flight. They gave us the economy class version of an amenities kit which had a sleep mask, toothbrush, and sox.

They served dinner after the 11:35am takeoff. I watched a couple of movies – The Soloist (good) and The Proposal (bad) and then slept most of the way to Johannesburg.
