Traveling To Tanzania Continued Chicago and Beyond
August 28th 2011 20:20
We went to back to the Chicago O'Hare airpart the next day. I forgot to mention the long lines for the immigrant entry point the night before. It was at least a mile long. This was at 11:00 to 12:00 at night. They were going to be there for hours. I felt bad for them and glad that I was not in that line. I don't think it was only immigrants. Some were just people visiting from another country.
The airport was packed. The security check was not as rigorous as Lambert St. Louis airport. They didn't make you feel like a criminal like St. Louis does. I am from St. Louis and I like it there but their security checks are humiliating. Chicago did what they needed to do, nothing more or less.
We boarded British Airways about 2 hours later. We took off shortly after boarding. It was a really huge airplane. There was a TV screen for each seat. It had GPS system that would track where we at all times. When we were above the Atlantic ocean it showed a little airplane above the ocean. It tracked how long we had been flying and how long we had to go. It told us the temperature outside and how fast the plane was going. It was really cool. We could watch current movies and other things. We could also listen to music.
Most of the stewardesses were British some were American or Indian. I had this male British guy for mine. He was hoity and toity. He thought he stuff didn't stink and mine did. We were about ready to go at it. He was very rude and I couldn't believe I was stuck with him for the next seven hours. The other stewardesses were fine. It was bad enough that I was traveling with my husband and our six children, three of which were under three years old.
As we came closer to England, we began to see daylight. It was the typical gloomy, cloudy atmosphere of England. I looked out and could see England. There were some countrysides like on the movies and TV. Then there were old buildings crammed together as we arrived closer to the London, Heathrow airport. We had to fill out these cards if weren't from England. It was information about your citizenship. We finally landed.
