Hi everyone,
Well we finally made it to the U.S after a long flight from Sydney to Nashville! About 24 hours by the time we arrived in Nashville! We were very tired and smelly after not having slept hardly and not having had a shower.
The plane took off from Sydney an hour late - we were on the tarmac waiting for President Putin's plane to land apparently. We didn't get the 2 seats at the back but we were given seats in the middle which we had to ourselves i.e. 4 seats across, which was great as we were able to stretch out, at least I was! I was able to sleep but Glenn didn't get much. The plane was not full, the service was really good. For those who know Maria (who was on our flight ) she was already seated in Business Class by the time we got on! So she was well looked after. We didn't see her after the flight as she was transferred to a different terminal in LA.
We finally arrived in Nashville at about 5:30 pm on Friday and got our shuttle bus to our hotel which is out in the Opryland complex about 15 miles out of town. We had tea at a restaurant across the road, before collapsing into bed at 8:30 p.m.!
Today we did a tour of all the Country Music attractions, including the Ryman Theatre we're we had our photo taken on the Stage! Then we went on to the Country Music Hall of Fame, then back to the hotel and lunch nearby at a restaurant. Tonight we are going to a concert at the Grand Ole Opry.
That's all for now,
Love Merilyn and Glenn

Lyndal,
I haven't been able to find a phone shop as yet. I will try in Louisville tomorrow when we get there. Please reply if you are getting this blog as I want to know if it is working.
Yes it is working! Why can't you call from the hotel?? Good to know you arrived safely - I was beggining to wonder!
Great to hear that you arrived safely. I wondered how Putin's arrival would affect you.
I have copied and pasted your letter into an email to Geoff, as he says he has trouble getting the blog (??!!) Mum seems OK at the moment. Lois and Wayne will be there tomorrow night, so I will go next week. Tuesday suits me best.

Yes, you could have let people know you'd arrived sooner! Does your aussie mobile have international roaming? What's the weather like?
