A very long day.
Numerous points of failure successfully navigated. A flat tyre warning on the way to the airport which turned out just needed a bit of air, Rory didn’t feel great stomach wise (he’s fine now), and all flights were on time. Even our luggage turned up having been checked though all the way from Newcastle; Dublin Airport has a US immigration centre so you can arrive in the US as if you’re a domestic passenger. Outstanding. Having purchased EE’s roaming package I not unreasonably expected to be able make calls, txt and use data. Nope so currently anchored to wifi.They screwed up Alex’s last trip as well.
The EE debacle made ordering an Uber from the airport somewhat challenging at Oklahoma Airport. Eventually we found someone who sorted out some Wifi and we placed the order. But where the hell is he? According to the Uber map he was in front of us. Turns out he was directly above us, just like in Aliens. We eventually found him and his little red Mitsubishi and amazingly it was Doc out of Back to the Future moonlighting as a cabby. Very entertaining as well.
So we’re at the Wyndham Gardens awaiting a bonus chase day in the High Plains tomorrow. Sadly we had a last minute cry off from co-driver Randy so Jo Ann kindly stepped up to the plate. Thanks Jo Ann!
After 24 hours awake it's time for bed.
