| Day 1 - The previous night, we took a red-eye from San Diego to Boston in hopes of picking up our passports + visas from the Brazilian consulate.
Day 2 - At the airport in Boston, Kendra and I are waiting for our visas that never came. Cost: 1st day lost. |
| |
| | Day 3 - Again, at the airport, waiting for our visas. They came. Finally. Unfortunately, our flight from Boston to Atlanta was delayed an hour due to weather in Georgia. This caused us to miss our Sao Paulo connection and forced us to stay overnight in Atlanta. Cost: 2nd day lost |
| |
| | Day 4: Stuck in Atlanta, what better way could you spend your time? |
|
|
| | CNN center... we spent the afternoon at the aquarium and walking around Olympic Park. |
| | |
|
| | At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, waiting for Geoff (who got delayed, again due to weather) and our flight to Sao Paulo. Our flight out of the country was delayed by 2 hours and then another hour was spent sitting on the plane, awaiting takeoff. Note to self: Don't ever fly through Atlanta again. Ever. |
| |
| | Too much time at the airport and on planes. |
| |
| | Day 5: Finally, we've made it to Sao Paulo. I found this sign amusing. We had about a 6 hour layover here before our flight to Ilhéus. It would have been much longer but our flight out of Atlanta was delayed by almost 3 hours. |
|
|
| | From Sao Paulo to Ilhéus (by plane) to the hotel at Ilha de Comandatuba (by shuttle) to our bungalow (by golf cart?). |
| |
| | We met up with everyone, who had been on the mainland. |
| |
| | Day 6: Our first glimpse of Brazil (and our hotel) in the daylight. |
|
|
| | Dressed and eating breakfast with the group. |
| | |
| |
| | Leaving the island for the ceremony in Ilhéus. |

| | |
| | A quick peek of our airport in Ilhéus -- home of the country's shortest runway. Landing and taking off from here is exhilerating. |
|
| |
| | Mysterious smoke came from one of the AC vents on the bus ride back to the reception at the hotel. |
| |
|
| | One of several ferries that take people to and from the island. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | First dance. Before this, there were fireworks. Yeah, man, fireworks. It was totally awesome. |
|
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | Flaming shots through a straw. |
|
| |
| | Classic. Justin's face is perfect. |
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |
| | After the flaming shot, you get your head shaken all around. |
