Day 2 / Jour 2 - Part One

Up at 4.30am local time to make sure we are packed and ready to rock and roll.

Easier with one suitcase!!

Checked Air Canada baggage and not yet returned. Had hoped that the people that had ours would have had the decency to go back to the airport in a hurry but apparently not yet.

Caught the 5.25 shuttle bus and after some problems with the automated check-in we finally entered the US pre-security area. 

I was singled out for a chat with the officials and then allowed through! Very nerve racking. But another stamp in my nine year old passport. Two now!!

All the right information had been entered months ago via Air Canada, passport numbers etc and where we are staying in the US. But I gave it to them again plus it was on the customs form we had filled in.

Once air side we had breakfast and found the wifi. Slow to connect on iPhones as seems the norm but was okay.

Then aboard the fight from gate F57.

Writing this as we fly over Charlotte and Columbia SC on the way south.

Although booked in economy with "Tango" tickets both the long haul 767 and today's A320-2 have had plenty of leg room.

Unlike the cattle cart in Europe on flights to Spain from UK when the metal on the seat pocket leave marks on my knees!!

And so. 

Have the phone in airplane mode listening to music as the entertainment jack is knackered. So I have had chance to listen to Wilko and Roger.

Over Georgia! 

Can't see much from up here!!!

Arrival time 11.10am.
