Back in Belém

DC was good. The interview went well and I got to see some friends and family along the way. Still, getting there was a major pain in the ass since I spent 30 hours in flight, excluding airport time, and was on a plane every day for the past five days for at least two hours. On top of that, I had to change 5 of the 6 legs of the trip due to an initial scheduling problem and the hurricane. I really don’t understand why airlines don’t allow passengers, especially those without checked luggage, to parachute out as the plane flies over their final destination. That would have saved 10 hours today.
