DAY 24 - HOMEWARD BOUND

Today we begin our journey back to the UK.  Our alarm is set for 3.15am as we need to take the car back to National and check in at the airport around 5am.  Turns out the car drop off is extremely quick and we could have had at least another hour in bed.  We have an American Airlines flight to JFK, New York and once on board the pilot gives details of the route he will be flying.  I am amazed to learn that the route is exactly the same as the one that we have just travelled by car on our road trip.  Difference being that the plane will take five and a half hours to travel the same distance which took us almost three weeks!
Once at JFK we have a six hour wait for our next flight back to Heathrow, London with British Airways.
