I'm on my way again! On Saturday 17th I checked in at Glasgow and, as mentioned many times in conversation - looking like an aged 'backpacker'! No fancy luggage but a bike in a large box and four panniers in one of those throw away bags tied up with rope and stuck together with untidy lengths of packaging tape! Never an impressive look but as a cycle tourist you have to carry everything you need on your bike.
After a technical delay of three hours in Glasgow I arrived at Terminal 5 at Heathrow, then to Chicago - and finally Minneapolis. All on Saturday 17th (local time) - assisted by a seven hour time difference. I arrived in Minneapolis but I think the rest of my luggage travelled to Japan, maybe Moscow or possibly Turkey as it failed to show. As I write this I've been advised its been found and will be delivered to my address late Sunday evening once cleared by customs.
Its great to be in the States and what I've already seen of this lovely city says that Minneapolis will live up to its reputation.
