Last May, I flew from Mauritius to Pittsburgh to attend PyCon US 2025. I had 2 layovers, namely in France and Detroit. That’s was a total duration of 24hrs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I managed to reach Pittsburgh safely in full \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Going to PyCon was easy using public transportation. I was so delighted to see the banners on the streets.<\/p>\n
