Sun, Aug 16 to Mon, Aug 17: St. Louis to London: Left St. Louis at 2:10 on
American going to Dallas/Ft. Worth. Had
a bite to eat and then boarded British Airways jumbo jet service to
London. First Class on this airline is
amazing. We each had our own little pod
with a reclining seat. After dinner the
flight attendant made up our bed. We
were given pajamas to wear and little socks for our feet. They also gave us each a little toiletry
kit. It was a pretty good flight until
we started over the Atlantic and it got really rough—especially for an aircraft
of this size. But we made it here
okay. The cab ride from Heathrow was 90
pounds with a tip. That equates to about
$135. Yikes! By the way, Heathrow is very impressive. It’s immaculate and really well organized. Our hotel is nice—right in the heart of the
city. We’re both really tired. Think we’ll go out for a little walk, get a
bite to eat and CRASH.
