Home Again

We left Datchet Mead Hotel for Heathrow this morning. US Airways flight 729 departs at 12:35 PM GMT and arrives in Philadelphia at 3:55 PM EDT. Turns out the tire was covered by the rental insurance, so I don’t have to pay anything for it—Mr. Lucky! Hopefully everything will go smoothly on the flight. I think the ash cloud is blowing north, so I doubt we’ll see the volcano this time but you never know.


It’s 4:20 PM (EDT) now and I’m waiting in Philadelphia’s terminal F17 for the connection to Harrisburg (US Airways flight 4355). I just called my precious wife to tell her I was back in the Homeland. She’ll be meeting us at Harrisburg International. The flight from London was good—no problems, and it was a bit faster than the way over because he didn’t have to fly so far north to avoid the volcano.

Here are some pictures from London that I didn’t have the chance to post earlier:

My kind of place

So, now that I'm back what did  I think?  It was a good trip and I know my dad and I had a good time together.  It hasn't taken the place of my favorite foreign destination--that still belongs to Canada--but it's a close second.  I'm sure I'll be back.

It's 7:18 PM (EDT) in Carlisle, PA
