Long Travel Days

We are used to long travel days. Ten hours to the cabin, RV trips to Alaska, and last year we came home from Australia. So when we heard we had a long travel day, we didn't think much of it. We had no idea. We left Puerto Ayora at 8:45 a.m. and took a bus to a ferry to cross a small canal. The line for the ferry was longer than Alejandra expected, so it took some time to get on the ferry, and although the crossing could not have been 5 minutes, we then had to await a bus. We took another bus to the airport on Baltra, where we caught a plane that landed in Guayaquil before landing in Quito at 4:00. We were taken to the Wyndham Hotel to be able to relax before dinner. Then we had to be at the airport 3 hours early, which meant we left the hotel at 8:00 for our 10:55 flight. We arrived in Atlanta at 5:05 a.m. and then had to wait until 8:30 to grab our flight to KC. Luckily Don slept the whole way, so he was able to drive the 2.5 hours home. By the time we will have returned home, we will have been traveling over 32 hours - worth it, but ugh! Although our travels from Australia were longer, we had time to sleep on the plane, so it didn't seem so hard . . . we were glad to finally be home.
