That was a long day.
I left home at 6am, parked the car at Parksafe, then went to the Airport.
Security was quite high, but I had no problems.
The Continental flight left bang on time....9am. The flight was full, which meant that I was unable to watch any films as my set had a problem with voices. 7 hours is a long time to twiddle your thumbs. And.....they charge you for wine!!!!!!
We arrived at wet Newark. I got throught security with no problems, collected my bags and went to Starbucks for a coffee. The second flight was delayed an hour until 3 15pm. So I parked myself at the gate an did crosswords. an hour beofre the flight, they moved it to a gate at the other side of the airport! Long walk with all my cases.
We left at 3 30pm, and the pilot was trying to make up time. I was worried just before take off. The air brakes were on as we sat at the end of the runway. But as we moved, they were retracted.....phewwwwwww.
We had a fast, very bumpy approach into Baltimore. A lot of rough turbulence. But we landed at dry Baltimore.
I collected my car a Ford...pick any of the cars in the line up...liked that.... and drove the 60 miles to York in the dark and rain.
Got here thanks to TomTom, had a meal at TGIF with 20% discount for Best Western guests....now bed. It is 3.20am UK time....I am zonked.
