And now you join me live dear reader. 30-odd thousand feet, and about 90 minutes outside of DC.

If I'm honest - not much to bring you up to date with today. We breakfasted at the hotel (for ease, I did have to get the proverbial quart in to a pint pot in terms of my luggage) and were outside awaiting our car to whisk us to the airport by 11am.

Sadly by 1102 there was no cab and the receptionist ran over to say there had been 'misconfusion' but the car was now on its way. Misconfusion may become my new word slash catchphrase.

So I shall leave you for now and we shall pick up soon.
