It's a start.

Day 0

Hello everybody. The time has finally arrived and I'm off to Greece later today. It's 00:10 and I should be sleeping, but I'm just not tired.
I got my packing done quite early in spite of Zivas best efforts at sabotage.

Ziva thinks she's coming with but I have some bad news for her!

Anyway, my flights are as follows:
Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg @ 12:55. I land at 14:45.
Johannesburg to Istanbul @ 18:45, landing at 05:15 the next morning.
Istanbul to Thessaloniki @ 07:25, landing at 08:45.

I'll update before I leave.

UPDATE.

It's now just after 16:00 and I am in international departures waiting for my flight. We board at 17:45 so I have some time to spare.
The flight from PE was not great. The take-off was terrible. It was so windy. The plane lurched around until we were quite high up. It was going to be a fast flight, with us landing at 14:20. That's 10 minutes early. Well, we circled Johannesburg and eventually landed at 14:45. It was without a doubt the worst landing ever for me. It was a nightmare. The wind threw the plane around like a rag doll. I was genuinely stressed out. My feet were ice cold.

Anyway, I got through all the control points and am now sitting at restaurant having a sandwich.

That's all for now. I will update tomorrow morning from Istanbul.
