US stairways

After getting up at 4am, we drove to the car rental return of Alamo. They have shuttle buses that drive you 4 blocks back to LAX, and dumped us at terminal 1. We were right on time for the flight to Philly. But after taxiing for 2 inches the plane had to stop. Apparently 4 of the 200 computer systems were offline, amongst which the GPS system! Great start. They contacted Pittsburg, did a total reboot of the plane and after a 45 minutes delay we finally flew off! The pilot pushed the Boeing a bit, so we only arrived 25 minutes later. After rushing through the airport at Philly from gate D to gate A-east A8 , we made the connection flight to Brussels. Another flight of 12 hours delivered us totally exhausted in Belgium. I did get to see the same movies from the 5th of September on the plane: X-Men First Class. Not too bad actually... After the fun with US Airways, we had a nice ride with Belgium railways, and finally got home, deader than dead! Home sweet home...
