The group of nine met at SFO at 6:30 AM for the first leg of
our flight. It was great to check our
bags – through to Arusha – as many of us were carrying two big bags with our
own stuff, plus donations for the clinic and the school. It was a 16-hour flight,
and the headwinds were with us, which reduced the length by about a half
hour. Etihad is a good airline – it even
has good food – and they supply all passengers with neck pillows! Beyond that, the flight was the flight. Some people slept, but most of us watched
movies or read. It was GREAT to finally land in Abu Dhabi, where the airlines
provided us with a hotel rooms and meal vouchers because of the 20-hour
layover.
