11/2 - The Departure

Day 1: The departue- We left Seattle for London on Tues.  Neikisha and her son took us to the airport. We arrived with plenty of time to spare.! Minor glitch...bag with teaching supplies too heavy(just repacked into extra empty suitcase) . I then received a personalized security escort( counter flow gate traffic ) to retrieve my red carry-on med's bag left on cart outside of security area across from check- in counter.  Angels watching over ....
The 9 hour flight on British Airways Flight to london was great. Great great service and very good dinner and saw a really good movie . "Salt" . after movie and dinner, I slept for the next 5 hrs and  Wordan watched airline movies for 6 hrs, then soundly passed out to sleep ..30 minutes before landing!!

Day 2: Arrived London Heathrow airport, Jordan promptly headed for Krispy Kreme counter. We then took a taxis to hotel (Crown plaza at airport...very nice) only issue WA we arrived hotel one day later than my reservation. ( just pleaded ignorance to hotel manager about forgetting difference in travel time/date ( got 50%off "our 2nd night's stay")!  Exhausted  we took a nap,  had dinner(of fish & chips & waffle)s.   Jordan is lovin' the trip. He said " mom the people in London are really nice. I expected them to be all proper and stare at me, but they act a normal, a lot like us ....friendly and helpful. :)
