Late September departure.
Instead of leaving the car at the airport, we decided to take the train from Nowra (Bomaderry).
A neighbour kindly drove us an hour north to the station.
A very pleasant and relaxing rail trip with two train changes finally had us right under the international terminal and our hotel for the night.
Check in the next morning was fast as was emigration and security which was in great contrast to the extended time it took in 2022.
The 14 hour flight on United to LAX was relatively comfortable and uneventful.
A spare seat beside me was a bonus.
I was through USA immigration in about an hour, the co driver, as an American citizen, a lot less.
Apart from a sniffer dog, no real customs presence.
After dropping our bags off at the transfer point it was a longish walk from Tom Bradley Terminal to T7 where we were soon, after another quick security check, having a nice breakfast overlooking airport apron activity.
Then an onward flight to Denver for an early supper and, of course, our first Caribou coffee of the trip.
Then another flight to our final destination Sioux Falls.
Total travel time approximately 24 hours.
Next morning it was time to ease into our USA adventure.
