It will take approximatly 45 minutes to get to the airport. I will arrive at the airport 1-2 hours early for bag checking and passports. I will then get on the plane at 3:00 to fly to Houston for a 1-2 hour layover. During that layover I will pick up some food and snacks for the flight. At 9:15 I will departure from Houstan onto a 10 hour flight to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When I land I will pick up my bags and go to the car rental place and pickup my rental car and head to the hotel.

Where to Stay
I will be staying in the Orla Copacabana Hotel. Near to the beach and rainforest so that I do not go too far from my hotel and try to not get lost by going to far. This hotel includes a breakfast buffet. A resonable sized room with an ocean view. Close to places where that I am visiting.
