On the morning of the 24th I left Boituva to go to Sou Paulo International Airport. In view of the problems of getting out of Sou Paulo I was apprehensive to say the least about finding my way to the airport. I tried to get a road map to help me in Boituva but could not find one detailed enough. I ended up using the internet to try and work the route out. So I set off at 8.50 am, my flight was at 9.50 pm - I was not taking any chances, well any more than I had already. I got to the outskirts of Sou Paulo in about an hour and a half. One good thing, the weather was good and the sky was clear, if all else failed I could at least follow the general direction of the planes over head (only problem with that there is more than one airport - are you feeling lucky springs to mind). However, I made it, it took me another one and a half hours, but I did not get lost, well I really was not sure, but I did not take any detours this time. So got to the airport with nine hours to spare.
Everything after that went to plan. This time I was flying with American Airlines, initially a long flight to Miami and immigration and then a connecting internal flight to Tampa. I got to Tampa at about 8.30 am on the 25th (25 hours travelling, clocks go back one hour from Sou Paulo). I was met at the airport by a gentleman called Jim from Skydive City, Zephyrhills.
