Day #13: Leaving from Rio to RDU Airport

2/24/12

We checked out of our hotel just in time to catch our 6:50 a.m. flight. Then we took a cab to Rio de Janerio-Galeao International Airport, which is the largest airport site in Brazil. We quickly ran to Terminal 1, in which our flight, Flight 143, was located. We boarded the airplane and took off at seven. The plane ride was more than five hours long, but we soon landed in Lima Jorge Chavez Airport in Peru at around 9: 45 a.m. Ryan fell asleep in the airport departure lounge while the rest of us decided to walk around to see the shops in the airport. Then at 10:15 a.m. we boarded the plane again only to arrive in Miami at about 4:30 p.m. We waited about four hours to board the plane and return home at around 10:25 p.m.
