We hung on until just after 8pm last night, so a small improvement on our first evening in DC. I can't say that my hour of waking moved on much if at all, but the Vickster did significantly better than I did.

After the disappointment of the Washington Monument, but the warming outcome of another visit to Starbucks, we headed back to the hotel to consider our options.

We were looking forward to our trip up the Washington Monument. We had booked our tickets 30 days ahead and secured a visit at 10am.

We turned the light off at around 7:30pm last night. Vick has conked out laying on the bed, and I was feeling fairly tired too, having had to focus hard to scoffing down my lemon raspberry cheesecake whilst watching an old episode of Law & Order SVU.

After leaving the aircraft, we walked about 50 yards down the corridor of the satellite terminal building into the Mobile Lounge.

When we arrived at The First Wing (TFW), we found it fairly quiet. We had received an email from BA advising of changes being made to TFW and the First Lounge. So, we were quite interested to find out what they were changing.

We always look forward to a holiday in the US. But we have grown accustomed to flying with lots of leg room! This time it would be another BA flight, which pains me nowadays due to their betrayal of their most loyal travellers in pursuit of corporate profits.
