Wednesday 8 January - Flying!!!!

Last breakfast in New Orleans and then loaded the car (thankfully the heavy rain and thunder of the night had stopped) and had a quick trip to Louis Armstrong International Airport. Dropped Jessica and all the luggage at the kerb in front of Delta and then Alison and Philip took the car back to the National depot. All good with the hand back including the badly stone chipped windscreen and we were quickly on to a shuttle bus back to the airport terminal. Checked in with help and got our boarding passes for all three flights. 1 hour flight to Atlanta on a MD88 and then approximately a 4 hour flight to Los Angeles on a packed Boeing 757, now waiting for the boarding call for the last and longest section of the homeward journey. What has been good is that we have not had to clear security again since leaving New Orleans and our luggage hopefully will be in Brisbane to meet us.

Sitting in a two seat row at the second last row of the plane - hope the tail of the plane on this flight doesn't jump around from turbulence as the flight from Atlanta.

Jessica left New Orleans before us and is safely in NYC and has been to a stage show and completed a few other things as well.

Signing out now from the USA blog - thank you for those who have followed our trip. We hope that you have maybe inspired to visit some new places or at least have got a laugh out of some of our antics.
