Hi all.
Chris and I have started up the blog again to detail our adventures in the USA. However our plans have not quite worked as planned, and we've barely even started. it all started when we hit the traffic good strart tohe day. then chris being searched 3 times at Gatwick didnt help either. fine, didnt miss our flight... not a problm. The flight was fine, no trouble and a seismologist to chat to.
Then welcome to Dallas. We are welcomed, by a thunderstorm, not an issue we think, but remeber it for earlier. First comes immigration. I have no trouble, but they take one look at chris and haul him off for questioning. For 20 mins. At the same time I discover that because of the thunderstorm the baggage can't be unloaded and we have to wait for it to pass. That took around an hour. Then they tell us that they can't open the cargo doors due to mechanical problems. Another hour passes. Finally the baggage arrives, on the wrong conveyer belt.
Having got our luggage, guess what. Chris gets searched again! this time by customs. This only took10 mins,but by this time we had missed the flight to Miami, leaving me typing his out on ancient public comp. Hoping against hope that we might just get into Miami tonight. Ah well,this bad a start must mean the rest of the trip will go well, right?

Well well well, looks like I have all that to look forward to tomorrow. The weather sounds lovely at least, and Chris is a rather shady character, I'm surprised they let him anywhere near their country! In fact I'm surprised he was even allowed to live here :P
