Finally Here!

We finally made it to Mozambique. We started the day early and made it to the Johannesburg airport on time. Air Mozambique (LAM) stood by their promise of allowing extra weight and we didn't have a problem.

Our prop plane to Mozambique - surprisingly comfortable and they served better meals than most US carriers

However, our flight was delayed due to the aircraft arriving late. We had a pretty tight connection in Maputo, so they said they would hold our connecting flight. Once we finally all got our luggage, we ran to the counter where there was a mad dash for the LAM reps to check us in and our bags. We all made it on the plane to Beira. Oddly enough, LAM has fed us on both flights even though they are only 1 hour long! They have been very good to us.

Once we landed in Maputo, we had to go through Passport Control. Robert Joseph had trouble because they had never heard of Antiqua! Eric Griffin had to get a Yellow Fever shot, but no one else had trouble. AND, everyone got their bags (even Dr. Dewar).
