The longest day

Hi all. We arrived safely into L.A, greated by a spectacular sunrise.
4.30 hr flight to Washington. Fight the traffic and finally reached the motel.
It's 9.30pm on the 27th which is 1.30pm the 28th where you are.
BLOODY long day.
The girls have been an absolute treat. Fitting in with all requests. Taking a touch of travel sickness, lack of sleep, different food and an old codger telling what they can and can't do in their stride.
They're all tucked up and I'm sure some are already asleep.
We wont get a chance to get a phone card for them tommorrow but I'm sure they'll have one by our 29th.
I'll keep you all up to date with the Blog and I'm sure Barb will have her facebook working overtime.

Make sure you pack some warm gear.

Just looking at the suitcase and thinking I should get that out soon and be more organised than years gone by.
Nah, it can wait till Boxing day, still too much to do.

Sitting down having breaky and thought I'd have a look at the weather for our stay in Washington DC.
Ouch, 0 degrees C the night of arrival and a max of 10 the day of our sight seeing.
Pack your coat and gloves.

The passports, visa's, travel insurance, etc. should all be done. Travel cards should be close to loaded with all the spending money and the excitment level should now be rising.

Till the next one, stay safe.
