We've had some annoying experiences landing at IAD but today wasn't one of them. Our flight from FCO (Rome) was very pleasant and we each caught some sleep.
The Immigration line wasn't that long, and the Customs line although slow and backed up, didn't take as long as it seemed. There's always the thrill of roll-aboarding past the crowded baggage carousels.
The TSA line wasn't all that bad either, once we'd taken advantage of the line for F customers.
We stopped off in the C Gate Red Carpet Club closest to the gate for our next flight but it was crowded (international flights departing) so we've walked the equivalent of a couple of blocks down to the RCC near the D Gates where there's more room.
It's always nice to be back and we have a leisurely layover here before boarding our next flight to DEN in another half hour. There's a small chance of a bump on our final flight today, but we're doing well either way.

Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
