UK, June 2010 - Off to the US but first a pitstop in Maidenhead for the weekend
Gareth and I took a van from the office at noon to the Guest House. We needed to change and pick up our luggage. We arrived at the airport around 1:30. We met Jasper at the check-in counter, we all checked in and boarded our flight with no issues. The airport was very busy though. Gareth and I sat across the aisle from each other and Jasper was a few rows up. Most of the flight Jasper had walked down to our row and we had nice long chat. That was a good way to kill a 3.5-hour flight. I texted Tracy as soon as we landed, we ended up texted off and on the rest of the day. Philly was having very bad thunderstorms and she lost her power so could only use her iPhone and it was running low on battery. I had a small issue at the customs counter. The agent asked where I was staying I told her at Gareth’s she asked for an address but I did not have it and Gareth had already gone through the UK line. She almost did not let me in. She said next time be prepared. Okey Dokey. Suzy picked us up. We also had two other AECOM peeps on the flight. Gareth offered to take them to their hotel so the car was a little crowed for a few minutes. We dropped them off and proceeded to Gareth’s. We hung outside in backyard for a bit then had dinner. Suzy and Sam had a small hot air balloon that they wanted to launch. She lit the fuel container and let it go.... For dinner we had a beef dish with veggies. Moreover, a proper bottle of wine. We had a sample of locally made beers before bed. I could not get on the Internet so I skipped the journal, will write tomorrow morning. Not sure when I hit the bed but fell right asleep
