Another Trip to the USA / NYC to SD

After good night’s sleep and breakfast at the La Guardia Plaza, we took the hotel shuttle to LGA Terminal B.
This airport has recently been revamped. Previously it had a pretty poor reputation.
Self check in at United was a breeze and security took a few minutes.
This is how an airport should operate. 
SYD take note!
The waiting areas were spacious, signage was excellent, seating comfortable plus there was a huge range of food and merchandise shops.
And how about this fountain?
Our flight to Chicago was an hour late departing but we had factored in a three hour transit time in ORD so there was no stress.
The full flight passed quickly and we disembarked into T1 and a virtual zoo.
Have never seen Chicago O’Hare so busy. The throng of people, even in T2, was difficult to manoeuvre through.
I think we were two of the few wearing masks.
After a quick lunch we boarded another full flight to Sioux Falls, SD. 
The planes were getting smaller.



On time arrival at FSD to be greeted by some family members dressed up for the occasion.
It had a lot of airport staff, passengers and rental car people grab for their phones.
It was a nice welcome back after a three year absence.


















After renting a car from the amused agent, we were on the interstate north reaching our Elkton BnB and Kennels accommodation about an hour later.
We had a nice dinner and catch up chat.
But soon jet lag began to creep in so it was time for bed.
