| Crossing the pond is
always the most expensive part of the journey. Hence we always try to fly at
the cheapest times and in a single hop. It is very much cheaper to fly from
England than it is from France. |  |

A rare photo of Jan as we wait at
Heathrow to board our 747. There were three spare seats but the flight would
be smooth and trouble free. |
| Heathrow is the busiest
airport in Europe and one of the busiest in the world. British Airways now
use Terminal 5 exclusively for long haul and have got the initial teething
problems sorted out. |  |
|  |
The road system getting there is immensely busy. This is one of the major
interchanges serving the airport. |
| There isn't usually much
to see on the flight but we did catch a glimpse of the snow covered
mountains as we flew over Greenland at 38000ft. |  |

Big cities are very spread out but the centres are often quite compact. This
is Seattle city centre. |
| We arrived after the RV
storage place had closed for the evening so we stayed overnight at a Best
Western hotel. This view of the patio and covered swimming pool was from our
bedroom window. To be honest, all we wanted to do was sleep. |  |
