[Magdalen] Safely arrived

[ROGER STOKES]

I think it was quicker than Houston last year, let alone the agony of JFK the year before.  The lines were relatively short and the whole thing seemed efficient even if the machine had problems reading my fingerprints.  I just have to remember not to confuse the locals with the facts if they start getting political.

Happy arrival in the USA *again* !  I'd say that doing anything, especially coming through customs at the Atlanta airport is possibly a miracle! (no fan of that airport here : )

Have a wee dram and go to bed and may you wake up to adventure tomorrow... all good, of course!

peace

> in Atlanta and in my room at the hotel.  I got to the room 90 minutes after the wheels touched the runway which I reckon was good going.  We were delayed leaving London, first by four passengers who did not show at the gate and then there were delays with Air Traffic Control because of the remains of Hurricane Galvano.

Transfer to the Domestic Terminal and then transfer to the hotel. It was all much quicker than I had feared but it's been a very long day and I am going to wet my whistle before getting my head down.
