Check in was a bloody s*** show. There were only two flights in our queue (Chicago and NYC) were not moving and people we starting to panic by 10am that they had not checked in and the Chicago flight was around 11:30am. Doesn't help that every damn person or family has about 12 bags and 3 trolleys worth of piled suitcases. I honestly have no idea what or why they bring so much stuff! They have no idea what's going on or what to do they're so unorganised also whic...

Last day has arrived! Why do fun things always go fast, it sucks! We checked out around 10.30am and walked down the Ross to the White House, we seen it from the front this time, which is just as impressive as the other side! No Obama poking his head out though! There were tourists in there visiting, which sucked because we wanted to go in, when I checked online it is about a 9 month waiting list and you have to be an American citizen! There were 'peaceful protest...

Got the metro to Arlington cemetery this morning, it gives you goose pimples seeing so many white head stones. There are thousands for miles and miles around you! We seen two funerals, taking place and soon after hearses the three gunshots. It put a lump in your throat, it was a solider being laid to rest. The everlasting flame and the Kennedy grave site was really nice, it has all of his speeches on a marble wall over looking memorial drive which has Lincoln mem...

The only way to get to the airport is by taxi! Cost us $35 between us. Absolutely ridiculous, airport shuttles don't start until 8am! If we had arrived by plane in memphis at this time in the morning we would have been stuck because there weren't even any taxis around outside the arrivals hall. The check in desk was tiny, and there weren't any screens to tell you what flights were going from which gate and if they were delayed; you just had to check your boarding...

Early morning surprise surprise! It's GRACELAND TIME! I'm so excited I may just wet myself!! We got breakfast and brought it to the room, we got bagels for dinner and couple of bagels for tomorrow morning when we are travelling because we don't want to be buying anything in the airport! Plus we love a good picnic! Again it was like a ghost town, I know it's a Saturday but there isn't anyone walking the streets or cars anywhere, it was like labour day, we could lo...
