Day 9 (8/19/12)
We are just starting the first leg of our journey to London.
As usual we are at the airport way early but that is how we roll. Our flight
from Milwaukee to Philadelphia was running a little late. We had been awoken
last night to a robocall telling us that it was going to be late but then we
got another call this morning saying it was on time. At any rate it was a half
hour late which is ok because we have a six hour wait in Philadelphia anyway.
The plane was quite small and cramped but at least it went without a hitch.
After a shuttle ride from terminal F to Terminal A we are now sitting and
waiting for our overnight flight to London. I am hoping to get some sleep since
tomorrow will be a big day. As I expected, not as I hoped, we got very little
sleep on the flight to London. Lucky are the people who can actually sleep on a
plane. Again our flight went off without a hitch. When we got to Heathrow we
had to catch the “Tube” to get us to our hotel. That was a little bit of an
experience since it is all automated and nobody around to help. Eileen got it
all figured out though and eventually we made it to our hotel. We did a bit of
sightseeing right around the area and the decided to get some badly needed
sleep.

The tube station I remember using to go to West Brompton (as I said West Prompt-on to the woman behind the counter) was manned. But that was way back in 2003, things might have changed since then.
