The train shuttles back and forth between Terminals 1 and 5 and terminates at ‘F’ Stop which is also where coaches can be met as well as the ‘Kiss & Fly’ area. There … Continue reading States 46 & 47 (Chicago IL – Moline IL) – Day 1
Woke at 04.30 to get to London Heathrow Airport and arrived at Terminal 3 at 06.10. For some reason American Airlines have their priority lanes within British Airways which is a tad confusing. This time I sailed through security and was tucking into breakfast by 06.30. The flight was scheduled to land at O’Hare by 10.30 local time but a closed runway delayed the take … Continue reading London – Chicago 04 SEP 23

This time next week I will have checked in for my flight to Chicago. I thought that I would have another look at the hotels that I have booked to see if it is worth changing the accommodations. When I originally booked I chose to pay the few pounds extra to cancel the reservation in case I needed to change anything and a quick search … Continue reading Planning in Progress – States 46 & 47 September ’23

Brightline High Speed Passenger Train Tickets for Miami to Orlando have now gone on sale. After researching some train services across the States I was surprised at the one way fare. You have to bear in mind that this is a high speed service travelling at 125mph so the journey between the cities is 3 hours 25 mins including 3 or 4 scheduled stops. A … Continue reading Florida – Brightline Train Orlando on Sale
After two recent posts about researching in getting the maximum ‘Bang for my Buck’ I have had to surrender to the fact that America is ginormous. If I had unlimited days and dollars then it will be simple to achieve the target, on this trip anyway, of stepping foot in three states but the square peg will not fit into the round hole on this … Continue reading States 46 and 47 Planning Sorted…..at Last
I shared recently plans to visit three more States on my next visit to America. These states being Utah, Nebraska and New Mexico.

Further ideas flooded into my mind with a simple realisation that as I have visited California … Continue reading Further Planning in Progress 2023
