Arrived at JFK around 11.15am local time on Saturday. We had met my mom at the boarding gate at Heathrow, and travelled on the same flight. Interesting to note the quietly efficient way security has been stepped upsince my last (pre 9/11) visit to the USA. There was a cursory passport check as we exited the plane, and then at the Immigration counter, two fingerprints and a photo were taken digitally. The Immigration official was very pleasant and chatty, but managed to competently weave in the 'right' questions to check that our stated purpose of the trip matched my visa data.
Carol met us at the airport, and we had about a two hour drive to Connecticut, and lots of great family reunions. We hadn't seen Paul since dad's funeral 5 years ago. Rogan and Caroline are here from Zimbabwe, and their eldest daughter Amy arrived from LA, where she is at College.
