Day 1
Arriving at Heathrow at midday, after a final Cafe Nero pit stop before entering a land saturated in Starbucks, we boarded a plane to Washington DC. To our pleasant surprise, lunch and dinner was provided - despite our tickets pre-warning us of 'meals: none'. We landed in Washington 7 hours later and began our two hour wait in the CUSTOMS QUEUE OF HELL. The deceiving zig-zag queue line didn't work this time. Germans, Russians and several others simply pushed through, most Britains settled to complaining loudly. Eventually, we got through customs and baggage re-claim and hurried to gate D23 (ie. the other end of the entire airport) for our flight to Alberquerque NM.
The plane ride to Alberquerque NM was insane. There was a HUGE lightning storm to the left of us, and with a left-facing window seat I was able to watch the flashes of light illuminating the clouds.
We landed safely in Alberquerque - at 8pm local time and 2am head time - and made our way to La Quinta Inn. 2 massive double beds were exactly what we needed after a days travel and we tucked in for an early night.
