In Chicago

Well we are in Chicago right now, it has been an 'interesting' day so far....

We got to Dulles airport early, and found out that the American Airlines schedule had changed and we had no flight, **insert panic here** after half an hour of the lady telling us there was nothing avaliable to get us to Chicago in time for our Dublin flight we got booked on an earlier flight on the last two seats and ended up flying out at 2 instead of 3:30.

Security was intense. They sent me to the foreign peoples line and I was wedged between some fairly sketchy looking men... the line took about 40mins, after which I was put in the air blasting machine and then screened for everything they could think of, but I finally met up with Geoff, we grabbed a bite to eat at Moe's Grill and Bar and then headed to the gate.

The flight was pretty small to say the least - it was three seats across the whole plane... and shook like an old car! It was an hour and a half and had one air hostess and fasten seatbelt signs the whole way over.

We arrived, had to take a train to the other end of the world and then ... wait for it ... go through security again! Luckily it was a little better apart from getting Geoff's backpack searched due to too many electronics!! Right now we are trying to figure out how to eat since all the food is back in the other terminal, but luckily we have about 3 hours before our next flight - which looks like it is leaving early.

Thats all for now! We will probably be on again later since we bought a wifi pass for 24hours.
