England Trip Week One - Sept 9th - 17th

It’s been three years, so it was that time again, time for my two-week trip to England.


Sept 9th and 10th

It’s lucky that how well a trip is going to go isn’t determined by how well your flight is. If it was, I would have been in a world of hurt.

It began with my flight to Chicago, which was held up for almost two hours because of bad weather there. But since I always book flights that are several hours apart, I wasn’t concerned. I got to Chicago with plenty of time to spare. My flight out of Chicago was late getting out, too, because there was such a backup.

Finally in the air, I settled in for a long flight. After dinner I watched Rocketman, and then tried to sleep. My luck, that’s when we started having turbulence. So we landed in London at 9:05a, their time, without my having had a wink of sleep.

Anne was waiting, and after a short bus ride we reached her house. I ended up taking a nap later on. Add a long night’s sleep, and by the next morning I was raring to go.
