Heathrow Airport 6/30 to Amarillo 7/1/10

It was a several hour bus ride from the ship to the airport. A very comfortable bus and we even had a rest stop mid-way. The driver said that there were times when the M26 became a big parking lot and he didn't want a lot of uncomfortable passengers!
We got through ticketing and security fairly easily but were surprised by how less strict security was than the last trip here about 2 years ago. The signs said shoes were to be removed but we only saw one gal who had on knee-high boots who was asked to remove those. We had several hours to wait and one of the places we browsed was in Harrods shop. Lots of pretty things to tempt tourists with something to take home.

On the flight from London to Minneapolis. We were in the center section with 3 seats, I had the middle seat between Bob & Karen from Des Moines, Iowa who had been on the cruise with us. Not much space in the middle so I was truly ready to get off 9 hrs later!


We were on Delta again from Minneapolish to Dallas. We got in about 10:30 p.m. Texas time, many, many hours after we had gotten up in Dover, England, so we spent the night in Dallas before catching an American Eagle home on Thursday, July 1.



And here we are descending into the airport in Amarillo. Good to be home!
