Blur

Today is going by in a bit of a blur so I'm writing a few notes in the middle of it which is 10pm UK time.  

We were up quite but not too early for the second flight of our holiday. This one headed out to LA. Last night, we had a tour round the hotel to get some fresh air before our journey. While we were conducting the concrete circuit and taking in the airport sights, a great big chunk of a double decker plane took off. We noted the beast of the skies and the feat of engineering only to find out that was the same type of plane we were on this morning. It was a new one and we had a cracking flight. It took off into the skies remarkably smoothly and with less effort than appeared from the ground. 

LA security staff were remarkably jovial and made for a pleasant landing experience, particularly given we were the first of four planes due to arrive so no queueing either.

This little sniffer dog seemed to be on to something!

We've both found showers and are waiting for the next leg... 

It's all finally starting to feel real.
