Well what can I say about our journey to the United States. It started with our group meeting at a very early hour of the morning, resulting in the majority of the group still half asleep. It was then a matter of loading our luggage into the car and getting ourselfs in to the mini-bus for the trip up to the airport. Luckly for us, the traffic was really good. No conjestion meant a clean run through to terminal 3 where we joined the start of what was a very long queue.
Finially we eventually started our 8 hour flight to Chicago. The thought of this wasnt to bad, until we had crossed the atlantic. The last hour just seemed so slow.
After the previous flight the thought of sitting on another flight from Chicago to Salt Lake City for 3 hours didnt really seem to bad - especially as the air hostess took a fancy to one of us.
Touching down on the run way was a sigh of releif for most but a goodbye to the air hostess for another.
Troop 1 had designed a few welcome banners, making our arrival a very warm one. The journey from Salt Lake City to Logan was another tiring journey. However the stunning scenery soon took your mind off the time.
Troop 1 had also planned a welcome party, which was a great success. Here we got to meet the hosts family, plus catch up with what has happened over the past year.
Alll of us looked exhausted and felt exhausted which meant after the welcome party was BED!
Great to hear you've all arrived safely! Fantastic to have a blog - will love following your adventure!
ReplyDeleteWe are soooooo excited to be hosting y'all (say it with an American accent). So glad to see that you are planning to record all your memories on this blog. Not only good for the parents back in England, but great to remember all that you did on holiday.
