Flight plan

D-1. Every kilo is finding its place in the backpack. No jealousy; they will permute more than once from now till Ushuaia. But they might be deprived of movement for the next 48 hours...


Monday 23. 5.30. Departing home.
7.15. Take off from Paris - Charles de Gaulle.
10.20. Take off from Amsterdam, after 2 hours in transit.
21.35. Landing at San Francisco Intl Airport. People good at geogrpahy know that it means  12.35 local time. Then I have the whole afternoon and evening to discover SF at a turbo pace (no worries I'll be back in April) and meet Dave, my host for the night.

Tuesday 24. 7.30 (local time; +9h Central European Time). Departing San Francisco.
10.10. Take off from San Francisco.
13.00. Take off from Seattle, North-West coast of the US, at the border with Canada.
16.30. Take off from Anchorage, biggest city in Alaska.
17.28. Landing in Fairbanks (never saw such a precise schedule!).
18.30. Arriving at Tom and Melissa's, my first Alaskan hosts. That time, there is a jet lag of 11 hours. That means 5.30 on Wednesday 25 in Europe. Thus calculation leads to a total of 48 hours to make it door-to-door!
