Back to America

The flight from Reykjavik took Elizabeth and I to Washington DC, which felt like a great re-introduction to life in the US again. Our final flight to Cincinnati wasn’t until the next afternoon, so we planned to spend all that free time in town.

We read online that we could take a free shuttle to a nearby hotel and store our luggage there, so we took the shuttle over only to find that the online discovery wasn’t true. So now our fun capital plans were off, but the kindness of the hotel manager and shuttle driver who offered continued help throughout the night made the situation not so bad.

Back at the airport we found a place to camp for the night and slept fitfully.

When morning came and activity started at the airport again it was time for breakfast.

It seemed to be a good choice to re-integrate into American life.

Soon it was time to check in, and we got lucky and were upgraded to seats with “extra” leg room. Thanks, Frontier Air!

It was a fine flight to the midwest and as the plane got closer to the destination it still didn’t feel like this big trip was coming to an end.

Soon Cincinnati was in sight. We were meeting with old friends. We were in a familiar place, surrounded by people who spoke the same language as us and had similar accents.

So many good memories, so many that have been made since then, and so many more to come!
