Journey to USA

The flights to USA were good and timely and Jo and I enjoyed the extra leg room in World Traveller Plus for the long flight to SFO. Problems with the entertainment system did not really affect us as I had my Archos with me and watched that for much of the journey.

Being at the front of the plane also has the advantage that you are first in the queue at immigration and baggage claim, so we got through and checked in with United for the short hop to Reno in sufficient time to have a beer. Only problem was that the plane was, as usual, overbooked, but we were first in line and there's always somebody willing to sacrifice the flight for a free trip to Hawaii or wherever.

We arrived at Reno before Scott and Lucy but we eventually met them and drove down to Genoa, stopping to pick up some groceries for supper and breakfast.

The accommodation is good and the resort is very nice, but Jo and I were ready to hit the sack as soon as the boys headed off for a swim.
