Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo Airport, Brazil

I arrived here in Brazil safe after a 10 hour flight from new york. The line for customs was huge. there must have been 100 people in front of me. Once i got to the front of the line it was very simple,take passport,scan passport,and off I go. at this point I was very tired and hungry. I had not eaten since dinner the night before on the flight ( a delicious stuffed Chicken,Dinner roll,Steamed Broccoli,mashed potatoes, & a Banana custard cake ). I chose not to have breakfast on the flight instead just having coffee. I just had to collect my luggage and Book myself on the net flight to Cuiaba since I missed my original flight due to the 2 hour delay in new york. I had 2 Bags on the flight and right away I saw one make it's way around the luggage belt but not the second, so I wait ... 10 minuets... 20 minuets... 45minuets and nothing. all the bags where gone off the belt by then and I had to consult customer service with that dreaded question "where is my lugage ?!?! ". turns out that my 2nd luggage was place on the right airline but wrong plane. No worries they told me just fill out this form and we will deliver your luggage to your house tomorrow when it arrives ( Note: TAM kept there word and around 2pm the next day my luggage was deliverd right to my house ).

After eating some lunch with a very nice polish guy I met in the airport ( who works in Poland For an American company who sent him to Brazil to fix a computer sistem. ) I was off for my flight to Cuiaba. It was a quick 2 1/2 hour flight. as soon as everyone was abord the cabin crew came around with caremel candies and bottled water. the plane taxied and took off and i setteld in and watched an episode of Dilbert on my IPhone. TAM always has the same snack on it's domestic flight so I already knew what to expect but it's a snack i LOVE. It's a round bread roll the size of your hand stuffed with ham & cheese served hot with a nice cold guarana soda to wash it down.
