Europe 2014 - Day 1IntroductionIn comparison to our last trip to Britain, everything went according to plan. Got to the airport early, flights were on time and befoew we knew it we were onboard NZ2 bound for Los Angeles on a bif B777-300. Cattle-class of course and I think the cattle byres had shrunk a bit. After 11 hours of good service, good food and a fitfull sleep we arrived in LAX, expecting the worst excesses of American Border Security - long queues, grumpy, humourless people, endless questions about why we want to visit the USA (we DON'T) etc. SO it came as quite a surprise to be shepherded into a departure lounge and then invited (!!!) us to go up in small groups to check our passports. It was a revelation - US Immigration has never been so polite. But is was, and it made the 2 hours at LAX just a little bit more bearable. Last updated: 12/08/2014 |
