You can imagine the welcomed relief it was when we were able to step off the plane.... Now was the next challenge, to get our connecting flight to Chicago.
What took the longest was the queue to pass through immigration. Hi, how are you, what is in chicago, visiting friends or touring, finger prints please... photo please.... have a nice day..... Verna got it easy as the inspector asked 'are you with her...... go through"
Bags were waiting for us at the carousol and customs we were practically waved through..... nice man on the other side took our bags again..... so then off in search of terminal A....
It was easy to get around as Dallas airport has it's own monorail to get you from one terminal to another... By this stage we had 15 min till our flight was due to leave.... more racing up and down escalators till found a very deserted gate 15..... we were probably one of the last on, mainly cause there weren't that many to start with ..... Everyone had a window seat... well nearly..... I stayed by my window for take off and landing.... but visted verna with my can of diet coke and a chat....
Not to be disappointed we both got to see the chicago city skyline as we circled to join the queue for landing.... We could see our hotel when we landed .... we could jumped off the plane and land in front of reception if we wanted....But we had to do it the long way by using the hotel shuttle...
What a better way to go to the Statler Users Group And Representatives Conference, but by flying into Chicago with at least 30 other women, oh and Bruce, and driving all the way to Columbia, Missouri, sightseeing and indulging in a little retail therapy.
Glad you had a safe trip ! Hope you can get adjusted soon and don't struggle too much with jet lag !
