Today was the day our vacation ended, and we would fly back to Colorado. Our British Airways flight was scheduled for 2:45 pm from Heathrow airport.
Yesterday evening, Tim and I learned that a rail strike had been announced for our departure date. To further complicate matters, the rail strike would coincide with a planned strike by workers on the London Underground. We couldn’t imagine the disruption this would cause for Londoners, and we were concerned about how we would get to the airport.
We spoke with the wonderful staff at our hotel, and they somehow arranged a taxi for us. We had to leave the hotel at 9:00 am, but we didn’t care so long as we could make it to Heathrow without a problem. We did make it just fine, and we managed to occupy our time at the airport.
Our flight left on time, and I found premium economy to be just fine for a daytime flight. We cleared customs quickly in Denver, we claimed our bags, and we caught a shuttle to our car. In less than an hour, we were home.
It was a grand trip.
