Got up at 3 am for a 6:30 am flight. everything went acc. To schedule.
The plane to Panama city was full, most people slept as did I. The plane to Manaus was pretty empty--just a handful of people, some of them long-time travelers. Sat next to a guy from Israel who roamed Patagonia for a while. Another guy entertained us with his recent visa problems--clerical error, Brazil turned him right back onto a plane home. Home is L.A., but in Panama City he went to the American consulate... ; we all hoped this will get solved at immigrationc since he has to catch a boat where he is part of a medical team. One woman knew somebody in the American consulate in Manaus and called there once we landed. He had to pay a hefty fine for an error he didn't commit but then he was in. Nice to see that young travelers still help each other out.
Copa airlines provided great food--sort of unseen in North American airlines.
