So much for zooming to DC. It took me 15 hours to get here from London. We went via Bermuda and because the airline JUST started flying to Bermuda and NY we apparently had to follow the land route. What the heck is the land route from London to Bermuda. It took is 8 hours and 40 minutes. Plus, there was an unhappy baby crying for about 80% of the flight.
Bermuda was beautiful. We actually were taken off the plane and asked to wait in the lounge area giving us time to catch some rays in the enclosed courtyard. The sky is so blue, the breeze lovely, the water blue and green, palm trees swaying. To think it is only 600 miles from the East Coast of the US. Paradise found.
