morning at 6:00 clock us time and our shuttle picked us after we had not slept the previous night, brought very quickly to our first goal. Also, the check-in at the airport ran quite quickly, albeit with the usual question-answer games and we were able to go on time at 9.30 clock on board the machine to Atlanta. But then came the
first little "fun" of the day. Especially for people with fear of flying. Rather than simply to start the engines were repeatedly run on full power, so that we all benefit von 5-6 Beinahe-Starts kamen (ich kann sowas ja sehr genießen *s*), bevor die Maschine ans Gate zurückgekehrt ist, um einen Techniker an Bord zu nehmen, der sich um die defekte Klimaanlage gekümmert hat. Natürlich gab es auch einige weise Menschen, die meinten, sie würden auch ohne Klimaanlage fliegen, aber ob das wirklich clever war bei den Außentemperaturen? ;-)
Mit knapp zwei Stunden Verspätung sind wir dann aber doch gestartet und haben uns erstmal damit abgefunden in den kommenden zehn Stunden nichts zu tun. Tatsächlich verlief der Flug total ruhig, dafür aber mit toller Aussicht besonders auf die kanadische Küste südlich von Halifax. Bei diesem Anblick fängt für uns ein USA-Urlaub at.
were in Atlanta the immigration and customs controls very easily. Much easier at least than three years ago and even though we had completely read and heard to the contrary. So we have our stop over place in the queue entry in the shops spent in the airport. Because Easter is, and because we always find an excuse that we have at Brookstone (travel goods of all kinds) some nice little things practical concern ;-).
The connecting flight to LA was too late then, but as with the first flight, the pilot subsequently recovered well, so that we ended up absolutely on schedule. LA for night landing is simply crazy beautiful!
In LA then have picked up yet in our car rental and are then driven to the Radisson at the airport where we are generally very pleased after 26 hours of arrival into our beds. Any beds? Not so! Sleep Number! I love the things ;-).
