Back home

We got to the airport in plenty of time, (despite the shuttle bus driver getting lost!), 3 and half hours before the flight, and still nearly missed it, due to the horrendous queues in Washington's Dullas airport. We queued for 90 mins to check in, then an hour to get through security. We even had to take our shoes off!! Flight was quick at only 6 hours, we then waited over an hour for our suitcases... which never arrived. This happened to us last time we travelled back from Washington!! The electronic tagging system informed us that they had not even made it onto the plane, they were going to put them on a later flight and courier them down to us. Luckily, they did arrive later that evening.

We've had a hectic, but thouroughly enjoyable 10 days, despite the terrible weather. We've seen some fantastic things. The highlights were Niagara and the War memorials of Washington DC.
Britain has experienced a heatwave whilst we've been away. Everything in the garden has flourished and the pond looks great!! Its good to be back home.
