We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

I was second off behind the first officer, and it took a while to work out my bearings in the airport. I was concerned about going too far and missing transit security, but it became pretty obvious.

I got into the CCR and went for a shower to freshen up. The lounges felt pretty busy, but I managed to find a quiet seat.

Photos from Day 8, when we drove from Rancho Mirage to Santa Monica for a charge up, lunch at The Cheesecake Factory at Marina del Rey and we caught our BA flight back to Heathrow.

A short shuttle bus to the Tom Bradley International Terminal, and we were soon heading through TSA Pre-Check. Once through, we headed straight into the Qantas First Lounge and found some relaxing recliner seats.

We negotiated over the timing of the shuttle bus back to the terminal. I obviously wanted to catch the first bus at 4:30am and the Vickster wanted to catch the 7am.

We were first off, and we headed to the first flight connections, almost opposite Gate 414. There was no sign to say it was closed, but it became evident that the door wasn't opening!

The Hoppa shuttle bus dropped us at bus stop 17/18 on the arrivals level. We had already thought through the potential return trip when we got back from Dublin.

Another chilled out morning for two retired folk in our cafe. That's us by the way, if it wasn't that obvious. Chutney was all over Vick as normal. Mango has been a little less interested in a warm lap, but she was happy to sit on the arm of my chair.
