Keep periodically checking my backpack for the scary envelope only to be opened by a U.S. Customs Official. Once we get to LAX I will hand that over and be interviewed, the last stage in the visa process. According to "Living in the U.S." which I was so kindly gifted by Maggie, one of the only people - and the only woman - I will know when we get to Houston, whilst tipping is expected in the U.S.A., it is considered illegal bribery to tip Customs Officials. Good to know :)
Many people have asked for an update on what the Business Class experience is like. So far I can tell you that the short queue is nice, as is the lounge. Yummy buffet breakfast and a comfy quiet place to sit and use Wi-fi are very nice. One strange thing about the lounge, though, is that the cutlery, crockery and toilet seats are funny, squarish shapes - it's like they're preparing you for life on a plane even though we're still on the ground. Also the way the toilets flush is a little reminiscent of aeroplane toilets - a sudden, loud rush.
So there you go. Bet you weren't expecting an update on the toilets.
Sounds lovely! Thanks for the description, fun to live business class vicariously:) looking forward to hearing all about those fold-out beds! bon voyage and love xx
