I received my Staging instructions today. I will be in D.C from Tuesday morning, August 11 to Wednesday, August 12 and then my flight leaves for Senegal Wednesday night.
When I called the travel agency to book my flight, there were no agents available and I was asked to leave my contact information. When an agent returned my call, my flight had already been booked for Tuesday morning at 9:40am. I'm so glad that none of my family or friends work Tuesday mornings.
I must thank the American tax payer for all of the support. The cost the US Government paid for the airline ticket from Charlotte to D.C is $728. Expedia's price: $69.
