We're at Heathrow

We are waiting in the British Airways lounge and guess what? They have a computer! Yea! It appears our flight to Edinburgh is a go.

When we checked in we were informed that there was no food on board (and to Tim's dismay - no Jack Daniels). They gave each of us (4 total) chits for $40.00 to spend at restaurants at Sky Harbor. Well, not a lot to choose from but we did manage to spend $104.00. Used 3 chits and since we had money left ended up getting 3 cheesecakes and a bottle of water. Total bill was $121.00. Had to fork over a buck. Susan and I took our remaining $40 and headed to Paradise Bakery. We had to have something for breakfast. Let's just say we ended up with cookies, muffins, brownies, croissants and orange juice to feed the plane.

Tim stopped at the Duty Free shop and got his Jack. Once we were on board found out they also didn't have any ice! The seats folded down flat and I slept most of the way. At one point I woke up to Tim laughing. I looked over, he had his eyes shut and when I poked him and asked him what he was laughing about (plus he was probably waking everyone up) he said he was listening to the comedy channel. Apparently, he was enjoying the humor.

We've got about 45 minutes to our next flight.

Glad you made it! Hope your trip is wonderful (even though we boo-hooed when we thought you might come join us and then flew off to Ireland anyway). We will have to do NM together - it's fabulous!
See you soon . . . stay safe!!
Hugs, Jan and David

Hi Tim & Sue! So glad everything worked out. Just showed Jim Daniel your web page and instructions on how to access. Harold is having challenges, but is being airvaced to Phx today/tomorrow. Just being back should help him. More on that later.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
