Trip to the US...

US trip

Chalk it up to Murphy's law that one end of the trip was the most eventful trip I've ever had in my life and God's laws of balance that the return leg was the most uneventful one ever (FYI: one is good and one is bad when you are traveling across the planet)! Don't really know how it works, I've never experienced anything like it, from burst tires on the runway which prompted a entire runway shutdown, to our very own plane getting crashed into by the loader truck which delayed us 5 hours, to the worst snow storms in years with massive delays, to our bags getting lost and then crushed with the contents of course inside and the cherry on the top... having our passports swiped! Our 1 day trip turned into 3!!

It was a trip not to forget, but hows that for balance, the return trip was the easiest, smoothest, most uneventful trip I have ever taken, no cues, no hassles, our bags arrived with everything in them! wow! Oh, except for the food! After the first leg of the flight I swore I would never fly Virgin Atlantic again, but after the return trip I would reconsider that, except of course that they took no responsibility for our 'smashed to powder' souvenirs and holes in our bags and the fact that the plastic safety wrap on the outside of the bags was nowhere to be found...

Anywho, we had fun! here's some photos! Click on the pic to take you to the picasa webalbums
