We caught the shuttle bus over to our hotel then after a couple of paracetamol for me we caught a taxi to the Metropolis shopping centre looking for sheets , Donna etc for Catherine. Nothing there so rang our same taxi driver who took is into the citymtomthe circle centre. Still didn't buy sheets Donna etc but Catherine added to her luggage seeing as her suitcase won't be weighed again. We didn't have the correct money to pay the taxi driver so he told us not to worry and just pay him whe we rang him to take us back to the hotel. Very trusting but them I remembered he had our hotel and even our room number. Downtown was quite vibrant is I am sure Catherine will have some interesting outings there.
Ps it is a little like Charters towers here!!
Lol
Off to Lafayette today. There is a Walmart there so will buy the sheets, Donna. Towels..........

Indianapolis
After our departure from Washington yesterday we have made it to Indianapolis. I have come down with cold so spent Friday in bed sleeping all day. Gee, did I ever feel sick. It honestly is years since I have a cold. I could feel my body starting to breakdown when my energy levels were lowering rather dramatically.
Anyway, enough of that.
We were picked up by our trusty super shuttle bus yesterday and after nearly an hours drive arrived at Washington DC airport. When we checked in at another airport forget which one we were told if we checked in curbside we had to pay for our luggage but if we checked in inside we didn't so I asked at curbside and inside and was told we would have to pay except if we had privileges , so imagine my delight when we checked in curbside so skipping the inside cue and discovered our luggage was in fact free again!! Catherine's suitcase weighed just under the 50lbs and mine was 44lbs but she informed me she had some of my gear. Anyway, we were lucky
It then took us one and a half hours to,get through security, catch the shuttle train to our gate etc.
Still had time for some breakfast and it was into our plane. It was an express plane with one row of seats on the left and two on the right. A bit bigger than the one we fly on Townsville to cairns.
