Nearly there

Oddly after all the planning, the fact that some of us head off next week is a bit surreal. Head off we will, just a quick posting to say if you need any info / advice / anything, then just get in touch.

Getting through Philly airport. 
Pretty straightforward really, first desk (queue) is immigration, just follow directions given by staff and line up. Immigration will check passports, check customs form, ask a few questions, take photograph and your fingerprints. Just watch what the people ahead are doing. 
Once through immigration, you'll collect your bags. 
Trollies in PHL are paid for, there will be a line of them and you will need to either use a credit card or cash to get one...$2 was the price last time we went through. If you can manage your bag ok you will probably be ok without one. 
Now follow signs to customs and hand customs form in. 
Turn right and within a few yards you are in Philly, WELCOME!!  
All of the buses (hotels and car hire) are on lower floors so use lifts, you'll see others using them. 
If you are collecting a car just follow the signs, all of the car hire companies are off site but the roads are quiet where the depots are. 
Car hire buses constantly run passed the terminals you won't have to wait too long. 
Make sure you know where you are going plan your route have a map or sat nav etc. if in doubt ask at the car hire office. Or give us a shout and we will see if we can help with directions. 
Driving in the USA is straightforward but the first few miles will naturally be a little different!  Just take your time, you will be fine.
