Paul
woke up at around 7am but snoozed for a good while after that. I had
a nice zzzz, waking up at around 10am. We had thought about going to
see the Barque Europa but I was still quite tired so in the end we
didn't go. Hotel check-out was at 12 noon so we relaxed and had a
refreshing shower.
Taxis
were waiting outside the hotel so we didn't have to phone for one.
The drive to the airport was uneventful as was the check-in process.
Once our luggage was dropped off we were free to go through security
and wait in the terminal for our flight. Unlike a lot of aeroplane
terminals that I have been through, the ones in the USA tend to have
more food stalls than shops selling goods. There were only 2 shops
vs a host of food outlets. We had a bite to eat and Paul had a look
at books in a bookshop but in the end he didn't get anything. I
opted not to get a book – most books are in American spelling so it
would probably drive me nuts wanting to correct words! Eg. Ax
instead of axe, check instead of cheque, jewelry instead of
jewellery, etc.
Our
flight is due to board within the next 15 minutes or so and we've
been waiting at the gate, relaxing. So far there has been 2
announcements about suitcases. Earlier there was one where an
official mentioned over the tannoy that someone off flight XYZ had
taken the wrong suitcase off the conveyor belt and could the person
who took it please return to the baggage desk. Recently another
later announcement was made, asking newly disembarked passengers on
flight ABC to check their hand-luggage because someone had picked up
the wrong wheelie case from an overhead locker. Ooops....
Time
to board our flight!
