West to East


West to East

Monday morning saw us trying to get everything we brought with us back in to the bags plus the souvenirs we have bought back in to our four suit cases and four hand baggage’s we achieved this and arrived at Cruise America’s base to return the RV this done we set off for the airport where we found just how much we have added to the weight of our baggage having to lose  a total of about 3.5kg from our bags this achieved we got lunch and boarded our flight for Dallas Fort Worth for connection to Washington DC, as we got on we saw RAIN! But then it is monsoon season. We departed from the gate spot on time but then we just seemed to be waiting for a long time, eventually the pilot came over the PA to say that the rain storm had changed the wind direction over the airport and we were no going to have to taxi to the other end of the airport before we could take off. We finally took off one hour five minutes after we were due to this is a bit worrying as we only have one hour between our original arrival time and boarding our connecting flight to Washington DC.

From touch down in Dallas to take off was thirty five minutes but we made it and more to my surprise when we got to Washington at 1am the next day so had our bags well done American Airlines.

  1. Hi Martin, do you mean you have lost your bags?
    This adventure is taking Linda and me back to our trip 8 years ago... You are traveling the wrong way but you should have seen our footsteps.
    The east coast is very different to the west but just as interesting.
    Keep going it sounds wonderful.
