So I've finally got here to Tampa, FL after the longest road trip of my life thus far.....lol

56 hrs from my house in SW France to Greedy's house here in Tampa.

The flight from London to Charlotte, NC was very cramped, I'm 6ft 3in tall so being stuck in those tiny seats for 8hrs is a bit of a chore....lol

Though an American guy who was sat two seats down from me was 6ft 6in tall and he really was cramped!!!

US imigration was fun......lol

Because I am staying here for the full 90 days allowed under the Visa waiver program, the immigration people at Charlotte nearly choked on their donuts....lol.

Apparently they didn't like the fact that I had never actually met Greedy for real before and that by profession I am a S/S waiter and general jack of all trades......

So I had to wait for two hours in the holding room whilst they processed me....after having my index finger of each hand scanned and being web cammed twice.......I missed my interconnecting flight to Philadelphia.......I managed to catch a later one though and got back on schedule....lol

The greyhound bus ride from Philly to Tampa was interesting if a tad long winded...lol

I'm not going to do that trip by bus again...if I can help it....lol

I had to change buses three times!!

And some young girl who got on in Jacksonville, FL decided that she would smoke a joint in the onboard restroom, which is strictly forbotten.....lol

The Driver threatened to stop the bus and call in the police sniffer dogs.....which would have been fun....not....lol

However its fantastic to be here now and part of me is still saying "WOW!! I'm actually in the states, WOW WEEE, WOOPEE!!!

Yup......pretty crazy huh.......

It was cheaper to fly to Philly via Charlotte, NC than to fly just to Charlotte.

I passed through the state of N. Carolina twice on my trip to Tampa, FL. The first time was to Charlotte by air on my way to Philly, the second was to Fayette Ville by bus on my way down to Tampa.

And Scenic is right, I certainly got to see alot of cars and trucks....lol

Hi M.O.M., (ok, that was just weird to type)
Welcome to America! I sooo want to be in Florida this month. So many things happening and I'm missing it all! Am I pouting and wildly jealous? You betcha. Not enough to wish to steal your pleasure and joy, however! Which I DO wish for you, in full measure.

I tried that but I was informed that if I did that it would make my return flight from Philly to UK null and void, so I decided not to take the risk.

Well after my experiences at the hands of the US immigration peopler I decided that caution was the better part of valour.

One thing I don't want to do is screw my chances of returning to the states at some point.
