Finally arrived!

After a long day of travelling, we finally arrived at the house of the Toler family in Dallas at 10:30pm English time (5:30pm USA)

It all started with breakfast at the Marriott at 6am, then at 8am we left the hotel to arrive at Heathrow Terminal 5 ... wow that airport is massive!!

On the journey all the "Dallas class of 2015" wore FA suits so it was fair to say we got a few looks!

The flight was 10 hours in length, and consited of numerous meals and in flight entertainment such as DVDs and Music ... for this being my first long haul flight it wasnt as bad as i had first predicted!

When we arrived at Dallas Fort Worth airport i had my first glimpse of "American Authority" .... wow the boarder patrols are strict!!!

We eventually met with George McCaffery and were transferred to our relevant homestays which are around 45 minutes drive from the airport.

When Jack and I arrived at the Tolers house, we had the WOW factor. The house is stunning, and the family are lovely.

Toby and Carol Toler occupy the house, and their son Will Toler lives with them. We felt right at home straight away due to how welcoming the family were.

Soon as we arrived, we were greeting with some traditional Texas food ... Chicken, pasta and potatoes ... damn it was good! We then had homemade cookies for dessert which were to die for!!

We were given a tour of the house, which includes a fantastic games room.

We settled down with the family at 8pm local time to watch "Goodfellas"movie and talk about ... yep you guessed it ... football!! (or should i say Soccer?!?!?!?!)

Jack and I have really been made to feel at home already, and are now on our feet after being up for 21 hours straight ... so i think that calls for bed!

Up at 6am tomorrow for a high intensity PGMOL fitness session courtesy of Rob Jones!

I have attached a few photos from the day of travel!
