The airport itself is really big nowadays. I recall having to pull off my own luggage and lug it into the terminal in the 1980's. Now the airport is enormous!
I'm typing this from the hotel in Manchester. Because we arrived here before 10:30 am, we couldn't check in directly. We drove around a bit. We discovered the location of the hospital and popped in already to see my dad.
We also drove around a little. We'd not eatten since Seattle unless you count the United pretzels. So, we found a Chinese buffet with lots of seafood. Upon returning back, we checked in and slept for almost three hours.
That's why it's 5:44 local time. We'll probably stop back to see my dad later this evening.
