Getting to Mara Intrepids … Part 3

One more detail … this was our second red-eye flight of the trip. Our flight left Cairo at 12:25 AM. Once we were on the plane, we learned we had a 45 minute layover in Khartoum, Sudan. The flight was full for both segments. The passengers on the flight were interesting. Most of the passengers were wearing United Nations or some type of police uniform. As civilians, we were definitely, in the minority.
