Greetings from London!
by Tim K. Snyder
Well after a fairly eventfull travel itinerary I made it to London...here's how it all eventually went down.
4:30p (Jan.4)Arrived at Reagan National Airport, got to the gate, journaled, grabbed a bite to eat. Wait.
6:30p Notified the plane from DCA to Newark was delayed. I wouldn't make the connecting flight.
7:12p Gate Agent makes personal plea on cell to buddy at British Air to get me on a flight that night.
7:30p Depart DCA for Dulles International Airport via taxi. (without bags)
8:05p Arrived at Dulles, checked-in, and wait.
9:55p Boarded AirFrance flight to Paris (always wanted to drop in).
11:20a (Jan. 5) Arrived in Paris, changed terminals, learned there is no British Air check-in at that terminal...missed connecting flight.
12:30p Met with British Air people who rebooked me for a 5pm flight. Grabed a bite to eat. Wait.
5:00p Boarded flight from Paris to London.
5:00p (time change) Arrived in London, border security, etc.
6:30p Learned that Continental (who promised when I left DCA that my bag would get there) leaves by 5p as they only have morning arrivals. No bags yet.
8:30p Arrived at the home of Jonny Baker.
12:30p (Jan. 6) Woke up, called Continental and left messages about bag.
3:00p Jumped on the Tube and headed back to Heathrow Airport...tired waiting around.
4:10p Escorted through back doors and hidden security room (it was weird) to the arrivals area...directed to a corner with LOTS of luggage just sitting there. Found my bag! Back to Jonny's...
5:30p Back at the host family's for dinner and to the pub for an evening of beers and conversation with folks from Grace.
