Finally made it to Dad's at 12.45pm on Sunday night, nearly 5 hours late. By the time when got all the luggage in the house and unpacked we'd been awake for nearly 24 hours.
The delay was caused by a combination of things....
- the plane being 2 hours late in Heathrow
- us arriving at LAX and the ground crew not expecting us or willing to take the bags off
- an 1hr and 30 min wait to get through immigration - our timing was bad, flights from Mexico, Thailand and Hong Kong arrived before us making the queues long and slow as everyone was given the third degree (makes me laugh that there are signs everywhere that say that they treat everyone with respect......I suggest the sign writers spend some time there!)
- the 405 being the world's largest car park at midnight on a Sunday. 6 lanes of traffic jam packed and not moving.....all because a car broke down.
We decided to take things easy today. We went to the shops. I broke the only rule that I set myself (no buying DVD's) when I found a copy of THX 1138 for $4.99 (2.50 in proper money).
I am hoping to get togging tomorrow, it'll be less hazy and hopefully there'll be more definition in the clouds so I can crack open the newly relaunched Ilford SFX 200 film.
