Flight = Done!

All the flights are booked, people! It took a while, because, as it turns out, I'm better at finding affordable flights than travel agencies are. It was just a lot of work, and particularly difficult given that some airlines do not issue tickets on-line. But now, after several long and expensive calls to Mauritius, Egypt and Tanzania, it looks like everything is pretty much confirmed... or at least, as confirmed as it gets. Below are the flight details.

Even kort de vertaling voor de Nederlanders: De vluchten zijn allemaal geboekt. Het heeft nogal wat voeten in de aarde gehad, aangezien diverse luchtvaartmaatschappijen niet via het Internet tickets aanboden, maar goed, het "lijkt" nu in ieder geval allemaal rond. Nu komt het 'moeilijke' deel, namelijk gereed maken voor vertrek uit Ann Arbor, een stad waar ik de afgelopen 5.5 jaar toch wel van ben gaan houden. En, er staat nog een hoop te gebeuren, zoals koffers pakken, dozen opsturen naar Nederland, dingen verkopen, reisverzekering afsluiten, een aantal hotels en hostels bespreken, en nog een tweede serie vaccinaties (de eerste is /gelukkig/ al achter de rug). Hieronder de vlucht details, dan hebben jullie die in ieder geval ook alvast. Wordt vervolgd...
