We arrive in California

Woo hoo! Noah and I have arrived in Hidden Valley Lake [1], California. We had one very exciting 8-hour flight from Heathrow to Philadelphia, on a plane with all kinds of facilities (entertainment screens - comfortable seats - pillows - moussaka). It was great! Not so great, though, that we greeted with glee the realisation that our connecting flight to Sacramento would be almost as long. The second flight was on a different kind of plane - one without all the advantages described above - and as it was very definitely night time in England by the time we took off, it proved a somewhat less enjoyable experience. All fine though, landing us safely at about 9pm, to be met by Noah's family for a two-hour car ride in the dark. We had a nice (if somewhat sleepy) chat in the car. The stars here look amazing! And that's about all I can tell you because, having been travelling for 24 hours, I went straight to sleep after that.

[1] Yes, that's a town.
