Got up at 4 AM. Took a taxi to Heathrow at 5 AM. Same price as bus
so we went in style. Check-in went smoothly and security was very
efficient although they scanned Jim like he was a threat. Had a
Starbucks and scone while waiting for our gate assignment since they
are only posted about an hour before the flight. It was a long walk
from the terminal to the gate. We were set to take off on time at
7:55 AM when the pilot announced we had a computer problem so we went
to a holding area while it was checked out. Good thing we allowed 4
hours in Chicago for our connection since we were over 1.5 hours late
taking off. Did make up some time, but a lot of people missed their
connections in Chicago. The flight from Chicago to Las Vegas left on
time but due to weather and some re-routing, we arrived home about 30
minutes late. We were picked up by the Diamonds and after dropping
our stuff, taking a quick shower, went up to their house for dinner.
Since we had been up for over 24 hours, we made it an early evening.
Crashed about 9 PM. This was a great trip. Enjoyed every minute of
it. Met some great people and had wonderful experiences.
