Sometimes you are at the airport....

...all day. Well, more than a day actually. Various airports, planes, terminals, in 3 countries. Right now, we are waiting in Chicago for our flight to El Paso.

We left the house at 2am Colchester time, and we are scheduled to get to El Paso at midnight Mountain Time. So that is a total of 29 hours that went something like this: Taxi to Colchester bus station(10 mins) > Coach to London Heathrow Airport(about 2.5 hours) > Baggage Check in, Passport check, Security(2 hours), Plane to Madrid(2 hours) > Passport Check, Security(1hr), Plane to Chicago(9hrs) > Passport Check, Pick up baggage again, go through customs, go through US security(the most intensive!), wait for El Paso plane(8 hours) > Plane to El Paso(3 hours)*...

*times are approximate so yeah....we will be relieved to finally get there!
