Suffice it to say that we made state-side last night - 1920 EST, 13/09/04 which is about 0030 14/09.04. Flights weren't too bad - Manchester, UK -> Philadelphia, PA and then to Columbus, OH. Mike (my bro') and his friend Jerome gave us a ride back to Mike's place - nice apartment in Columbus, OH. Pizza was gotten and eaten, along with Pepsi and homebrew - kinda like heavy but, 'cos hops were added, with a bit of a bitter after-taste at the back of the tongue.
One things I hadn't reckoned on last night was the noise made by the crickets - incessent all night. Along with the fans made sleeping almost impossible until the earplugs were put in. 2-3 hours sleep, but I thrive on that kind of thing.
American breakfast this morning - sausage, mushroom and swiss cheese omlette c/w hash browns (shredded), washed down with copious amounts of iced water, orange juice and coffee - the ubiq. bottomless coffee cup. Great service aswell - must remember to get the name of the place and the waitress from Mike - he knows the place quite well.
Got the hire car today aswell - upgraded from a Cheve Cavalier to a Ford Taurus at no extra cost due to Mike's airmiles. Tried to drive Mike's sports car back to the apartment but failed, so drove the Ford - interesting, to say the least.
Back at the apartment now, planning to go out somewhere to get shorts and things - heat is starting to pick up, sitting at about 21C at the moment but will probs jump to about 25C or so.
Will try and take pics and post them, but don't count your chickens.
CU later.
[More info: Jack & Benny's was where we had breakfast, and the waitresse's name was Nona]
