16. Onwards to Montana.

Once docked back in Los Angeles it was time to move on to Montana to visit Claire's sister and family in Missoula. The only thing to worry about was getting to Burbank airport in time for our 12 noon flight. We were scheduled to disembark at 7.30am and I reckoned that allowing an hour for customs/immigration, an hour on the road and half an hour for unexpected delays, if we got to the airport by 10am, we would be doing well. We got there at 8.50am!

So there was a bit of hanging around before the first leg of the journey from LA to Seattle...that went on time and we even got to see the Space Needle from the air. Two hours later we were boarding the second flight, going on to Missoula, where we would be met by Denise and Steve. As we boarded the pilot gave the weather for en route and was met by a round of resigned applause when he advised that snow was forecast for Missoula.

We arrived safely and on time and thankfully there were only a few light snow flurries by the time we got home. Another day, another time zone!
