Our ride home by pamknowler

Our ride home

This was our plane waiting for us to board. An overnight flight with no inflight entertainment was pretty boring and neither Rosie or I could sleep! Jet lag here we come! Lol! It was lovely to come through customs and see my nephew Colin waiting for us. Home again now and I am looking forward to loading my photos onto my laptop and having a good look at what I took last week.
What a wonderful time we had! Chicago is a photographers paradise. Taffy of course made us so welcome and took us to the best places. Andie joined us and took us for light trails which I have always wanted to do. So many exciting days packed full of fun!
I will be working on and sharing some of my shots for the next few weeks I expect. I want to do another Chicago Photobook which will be a permanent memory to treasure!

Many thanks for all your wonderful supporting comments and favs always so very much appreciated!
Love this view of an aircraft - I associate it with the excitement of a forthcoming trip, outwards or home-bound.

Have to agree with @Shepherdman I love to get this angle on a plane I am either travelling on or getting off!

No in flight entertainment makes for a long journey, when we went to the USA there was none on that flight either & we weren't even sitting together!

Love the pov and dramatic clouds in the background. I am thinking that even though you booked through BA you got stuck on an American Airlines flight home (they have a partnership with BA). I try and avoid them if i can, or try and make sure I find a flight with one of their modernized planes. It is hard to imagine that planes from the US would be so behind with technology, but that is the US for you...so far advanced on one hand and so far behind in ways that are surprising! It was wonderful to meet you and Rosie again.

@ukandie1 it was a BA flight Andie but they could not get the system to work! Makes you wonder what else isn't working. It was great to meet up again!

@jyokota it was a shame it was only one day Junko but I know how busy you are so we were both thrilled you could make it for that time! Have you bought the fisheye lens yet? So pleased I could let you have a play with mine! Lol!

You must have taken this shot out of a window! No in flight entertainment?? Whats happening to the airline world!

Fabulous! We enjoyed seeing your Chicago photos (so far) and hearing about your trip! Glad you had a fun time and a safe return home again! I am sure Findley will give you the warmest of welcomes!!!

PS...Finlay! So sorry I spelled his name wrong...probably hasn't been my first time either. LOL!

Looking forward to seeing some of your Chicago pics. Love the pov you have taken with this plane.

I love the look of the clouds! I rarely sleep on planes. I hope the jet lag isn't too bag!

I am looking forward to seeing more of your Chicago shots. Glad you got home ok.

I have loved looking at your Chicago photos nd no doubt there will be lots more. Can't wait.

I always take my entertainment with me. I am a member of Kelby One and can download photography tutorials for offline viewing. I did this just last week for a much shorter trip, then I didn't have to rely on the airline entertainment system. Great POV on your photo.

@ukandie1 I so want to disagree with you, but can't! AA does have some pretty dismal aircraft. We're on one next week and hoping it is one of the decent one. Preparing by downloading a bunch of movies and TV shows!!
Welcome home -- and I can't wait to see your posts from the week here! Fun to see your plane...

I'm with you Pam, if the in-flight tech is out, what else may be dicey too. Good to hear you got home safely regardless, looking forward to seeing more of the photos. BTW, how long is that flight? We're so far away from much of the world I have no idea of northern hemisphere times.

Just stay and live in Macys! Thanks for sharing the trip with us. Your photos were so cool.

I especially like your POV Fav
