We made it to O’Hare with little time left to spare. If anyone is ever attempting an international flight at O’Hare and taking the train to get there allow extra time to get to the terminal! We had quite the walk with our bags followed by a Disney-like tram to get to the international terminal. Once we got to the terminal we were in good shape. We were even better when Courtney got her People magazine and chapstick. Swiss Air came equipped with movies and friendly staff who fed us quite well despite the fact that it was still airplane food. We even got Swiss chocolate! I thought I was clever when I bought a netbook for movies on the plane complete with two headsets for Courtney and myself. However, it turns out the audio is not so great on netbooks with movies. Overall the trip was great with the exception of two screaming children next to us from Zurich to Douala and Douala to Yaoundé. These kids were not your average “crying in an airplane kids,” they were gold medalist criers. When we made it to Yaoundé after about 24 hours of flying and connecting we were relieved. Everyone clapped as we landed, and Courtney and I were officially excited.
