My one day in MI was busier than anticipated since my luggage had been pilfered and my camera stolen sometime during my Doha to Detroit travels (presumably in Detroit—imagine that). I had to drive back to the airport to show my damaged luggage and initiate the paperwork. There was so much to do and so little time…and I could not stay up late because my flight for San Pedro Sula departed DTW at 6AM. However, with some help from my brother (and by the grace of God), I was able to get everything accomplished.
Saturday morning was a killer. Since my brother lives about an hour from the airport and I had to turn in my rental car, my alarm was set for 3AM **UGH**. I was still fighting jet lag from the Doha flight…and with the Honduras flight, I had gone through 9 time zones in 36 hours. Thankfully, I was able to sleep most of the flight (total flying time about 6 hours)…and was awakened by the flight attendant as we began our initial descent.
The views while flying in were breathtaking.


Our flight was greeted by health officials—

“No, I have not ‘handled any pigs’.”
My passport number was jotted down, and I was sent on my way through immigration.

My Honduras adventure begins!
