Well, the duration of my trip has expanded because of the limited seats available to fly Business Class (using my USAirways miles).
If I must stay longer, well then, it shall be done. People, including strangers on the street have asked me "How far is it?". Not really knowing what "it" is (yes, I learned from Bill Clinton) I assume they mean this trip. The official answers are 8125 miles and 17.5 hours non-stop Washington Dulles to Johannesburg.
It's a long journey but I'm going to go in comfort & style. Fshizzle. And yes, I plan on getting a planking photo of me in my Business Class seat (so what if the fad is over, I'm bringing it back). And yes, it does fold down to a flat 180°. Double Fshizzle.
