March 28th We arrived at the airport, returned the rental car, and made it to the gate with time to spare. The Ethiopian Airlines 787 Dreamliner departed on time (11:15 am), Fortunately, there was no one in the third seat so we had additional space in which to spread out.
We were served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food wasn't bad for an airline.
Lynda got to read her eBooks, and George got to watch movies on the seat back video display.
We both enjoyed watching the display detailing the map of our flight (in real time) as well as the speed, outside temperature, and flight time remaining
Lynda got a few hours sleep but George was unable to sleep even though he used his new, portable CPAP.machine.
We arrived in Addis Ababada, Ethiopia at 6:00 am Ethiopian time. (12 1/2 hours from when we left the US.

We had a 3 hour wait to  board the next flight. They made us go through the security checkpoint again.
George decided to rearrange his two carry-on luggage pieces. He took all his paperwork from his briefcase, putting it in the larger suitcase and placed his CPAP machine and battery pack in the briefcase, while waiting for our next flight.

We boarded the Boeing 737 and took off at 9:20 a.m.
