Our last morning in Orlando so we had a great brekkie at the hotel, checked out, fueled up the hire vehicle and made one last stop at Walmart along the way to the airport.
We checked in at JetBlue, went through security, had a coffee at Starbucks and checked our messages
whilst waiting for our flight.
JetBlue are a great airline. Nice leather seats, great hosties, just a lovely flight with included TV and movie entertainment.
We can't believe how green the landscape is everywhere in the USA, The only place we encountered brown
pastures etc was in Colorado and Wyoming everywhere else is very green and lush!
We finally found where to catch the 5A Metrobus at Dulles Airport even though there was no signage
advising us where to catch the Metrobus. The woman bus driver was a real hoot. At one stage during a
traffic jam along a highway she sped along in the slow lane and then straddled across four lanes to get to the other side, All the surrounding cars had to halt and all beeped their horns. A load of fun!
Next lesson was to tackle the Metro underground train system which was quite easy although we were now
travelling in peakhour train commuting! We were very squashed inside the train and made friends with many other Washington city dwellers who said we were very brave travelling in their train system during peakhour and with seven bags! Whew we were glad to reach the Embassy Suites Hotel at the Chevy Chase Pavillon built right on top of the Metrorail train station - very handy!
Luckily, we made it in time to partake in the Manager's Reception "happy hour" and have a couple of Beers
and Dacquiris and snack type foods - so much in fact that we couldn't fit in dinner.
Our suite in the hotel is quite luxurious the only downside is that is doesn't have a guest laundry - we'll have to tackle that problem tomorrow.
An early night for once - we'll have an early start again!
