Our flight was scheduled for 9:55 pm out of Newark on Friday. We had a car picking us up at 6:30. Luckily I was able to get off of work at 2:30 and have plenty of time to finish getting things done. Greg had school and tennis and didn't get home until 5:30 pm. We had a quick dinner and headed to the airport. The stupid limo company sent a town car with little trunk space for all 4 of us and our 4 big suitcases. Larry had to ride with a suitcase on his lap. We were very insistent that they send the limo for us when they picked us up on the return.
Anyways, at the airport, we exchanged $ for pounds and euros (at a terrible rate I must add) and the flight left on time. We flew British Airways and I have to say that it was very comfortable. The food is actually very good and the movie choices were good. I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (with Johnny Depp) twice and really enjoyed it. Casey was sitting behind me on the plane watching the same movie and I could hear her whooping it up at times. I slept just enough so that I wasn't too exhausted when we got to London. The coffee frappucino at the airport helped me stay awake.
After arrival at Heathrow we went through customs got our baggage and waited for our hotel transport. The guy that took us to the hotel was very personable and talked quite a bit. If we all weren't so tired, it probably would have been even more interesting. That's what happens when traveling at night and not being able to sleep on the plane very well.
More to come!!
