Rio, the final chapter
After all of the drunken wandering through the city, and a fairly interesting ride back to the hotel, I woke up the next morning and went down to the broadcast room. The guy in charge of the event was there and he asked me if I would like to go back a couple of days early. "Sure" I said, and I got my flight changed to Thursday night. I was happy to go home early. You can have only so much of a fun time.
The important lesson learned here is always fly first class when you take a nine hour flight. I flew business (first) class down and coach for the flight back. By the time I landed in Atlanta I was ready to scream because my back hurt so bad.
I did have a great time and I will remember the trip for the rest of my life, but I would never want to go back. Now I need to figure how to get the company to pay for my dream trip to Australia.
