Our London Weekend

Well, last weekend was our mini trip to London...what an adventure it turned out to be! Our flight was at 6.45 out of glasgow and, fearing the traffic would be bad, we left here at 3. we took Tiva up to the kennel and headed up to the airport. We got parked and into the airport and straight up to the bag drop and, lo and behold, no flight. Hmmm...how could that be you may ask? Well, it seems that 6.45 meant 6.45 A.M., not P.M. So there we were, 5 P.M. and no flight.

I checked around other airlines and the best price I could get was £277...EACH! So I says to Mom...unass that chair, we are driving to London! And we did. Got gassed up and road munchies and off we went. We made very good time and arrived at our hotel at 12.15 (thank goodness for SatNav).

The seminar was fabulous and I learned so much! Met some old friends and made a few new ones and learned stuff to use in the office on Monday morning. Mom went to the History Museum on Saturday and to the V & A on Sunday and then we checked out and headed home. We go back into the house about 10.30 and, hale and hearty except for a serious case of carbutt.
