12th January 2006

CB, DT & SP finally arrived back in Heathrow at around 10pm GMT, following two very tight connections in Chicago and Washington D.C. all our luggage, including the boards, made it back on time and in one piece. SP's wife Claire and CB's wife Charlotte were waiting for us at the airport.

Finally got back to South Wales at around 2.30am, some 4 hours before CF, who wasn't quite so lucky with his luggage - his 6'8" folded in the nose.

All agreed that this was the best trip we'd ever been on. Time to start planning the next one; how does January 2007 sound...
