Planes, trains and automobiles (Smoky mountains-Williamsburg-Washington DC-New York) Day 1
Day 1 - March 31st
I wasn't sleeping too well through the night, and finally awoke to a text from Delta at 4am to say our flight was delayed 30 minutes 🙄. We were all up around 6 despite not being in a hurry. Arrived at my Dads for 8.30 for him to take us to Heathrow where we arrived by 9.30. Check in was simple as I had already printed boarding passes so we relaxed with a coffee until our gate was called at 1130. The flight was delayed from 1230 to 1305 but in the end we seemed to arrive on time anyway. The flight was 8 hours to Detroit but seemed longer than I remember Orlando being. Probably due to the fact I didn't really get into a film. I started with 'Arrival' but after 40 minutes, it wasn't going anywhere. I watched a bit of 'Miss Perigrines home for peculiar children' and 'The girl on the train' even though I had already seen it at the cinema. Georgia enjoyed her kids meal of meatball pasta, veg, bread roll, grapes and mars bar. She left the cheese and crackers and there was a pudding on her tray somewhere too I chose the veg tortellini which was very tasty, washed down with a glass of red wine. There was an ice cream tub at some point and About 1hr30 before landing they brought sandwiches which were disgusting. They had been frozen so the bread was soggy. The Starbucks coffee was 😊 We had a 4hr layover at Detroit which went by quickly after clearing immigration and having something to eat... my favourite, chick-fil-a The second flight was the smallest plane I'd ever seen! It only took an hour though and was much smoother than I expected. We landed at 10pm local time so picked up the hire car in a haze and made our way 10 minutes down the road to the luxbury inn booked simply to sleep in. It had a kitchenette and was fairly spacious with a sofa bed in the lounge made up as requested so we could go straight to
