When we fly South African Airways, we leave Dakar at midnight to head to the airport after only a few hours of sleep. We wait 2 hours, then have a 8-9 hour flight to DC. After going thru customs and getting to our next gate, it is usually around 730 am, or 1230 pm our time. It has already been a 12 hour long day with little sleep, yet we have a 10 hour layover in DC until our 2 hour flight to Portland!
When you travel like this, you become desperate for even a few minutes of sleep, especially if you are travelling with 2 very active 3-year olds. After we have breakfast, or in Kelly's case, her beloved buffalo wings and a local microbrew, we roam the airport for awhile, tiring the boys out and find a quiet nook to sleep for a few hours. Absolute desperation, indeed.
