Getting Here


Here is my blog. I’m going to try and be funny and informative. Maybe it’ll just be informative. Either way you’ll hopefully learn a bit more about what I am or am not doing in America.


Terminal 5 is the way to leave Heathrow and England. You don't have to queue, people are helpful and the bacon rolls at EAT are pretty good value. Terminal B is not the way to arrive in Newark NJ. It is even more not the way to arrive when your wife is arriving in Terminal C on a Virgin flight that turns out to be a Continental flight and doesn't arrive at Terminal B. When you try and find her and realise she isn't there you are in a long line behind everyone from your flight and the flight from Belfast including Rory McIlroy... Better still after an hour or so you get through the line and the lady tells you she can't process you and your mystery envelope and has you taken somewhere else. Your fingerprints are taken and your name is signed and you are pretty much a US resident.
