United out of Dulles was fine. Got in about 20 minutes early. Arrival was not bad at all. Jet blue got there before us, but they had to use the bus, while we were able to walk. That meant there were only a few ahead of us in the immigration line. By the way, all the immigration booths were staffed by Hollanders. Luggage retrieval is a bit of a mess. There are 2 holes in the wall that the bags are pushed through. Handlers then grab the bags and line them up behind a rope. Boy do they work hard. Jet blues luggage came out first, so we had to stand way back until they were done and United luggage started coming out. All said and done it took 30 minutes. The issue is that our 2 planes pretty much filled up the ten. Can't imagine what it would be like with several more planes. The tent was warm but not too bad. I think i saw the departure tent as we left in the shuttle to Unity. There were people waiting in lines outside.

Our first day draws to a close. We landed about 1pm. After immigration baggage claim and customs we were off to pick up our rental car. Beautiful day. Got into our room mid afternoon. We're in this room only until tomorrow when we'll move to the room we'll have for the next 2 weeks. Today we're right on the beach. John did some walking, picking up some food along the way. I did a quick shop for a few items to tide us over till we go the supermarket. Dinner in the room tonight. Carryout pizza, Mexican and salad. It'll be an early night tonight.

Hi. Thanks for the report. You have the wrong url for your picture. For each picture, you need to right click on the picture and that will give you the url of the picture, and then use the IMAGE tag. Here is your first picture.

Still don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I right click I get a list of options. I chose open in a new tab. That's obviously not the right one.

Hi. The address is correct, but you need to use the IMAGE tag. Click on Use Full Editor, click on the little picture and insert the url in the pop up screen.
