sbisson at 02:59pm on 19/11/2003Well, after a long, long day yesterday, which actually saw me managing nearly 24 hours solidly awake, I am in Salt Lake City, sitting on the floor of the toilet in my room as it's the best place for the hotel's free wireless broadband to actually work..
The journey over was good - one of Virgin's new 747-400's with the video on demand system (Charlies Angels 2, A Mighty Wind and The Shawshank Redemption), and I was able to get my first flight up in the bubble. I had a lovely view of Mount Shasta as we came down the west coast of the US. I had a bit of a wait at SFO, but my friend Rick WINOLJ was able to pop by and share an iced tea, before I got the full secondary search experience on my way to boarding a Canadair Challenger for the hop up to Salt Lake City - flying through the sunset over the High Sierras and Lake Tahoe. Beautiful.
As it is with most of my transatlantic trips, I can't get this Thomas Dolby song out of my head...
