The Trip Home

Despite the fact that England had 186% of its monthly amount of rain while we were there, we had a great time. We awoke at 5 am. in order to get to Heathrow Airport, well ahead of the scheduled flight, only to find that the flight was delayed by 2 hours.  After we boarded and pushed back, there was a mechanical failure that required us to go back to the gate for repair. This created a further delay. We were approximately 3 1/2 hours late getting into Atlanta.  Since we were one of the first to arrive for the flight, our bags were first on, last off. By the time we got our bags, we were literally last in line to get rerouted on another connection. It shouldn't be too difficult as Delta has flights to Orlando every hour. Except that it is summertime, and Saturday. All the timeshare owners are coming to orlando for their week. They did not have any flights available for us tonight. We had to stay over in Atlanta, and leave Sunday morning. Again on Sunday, we get to the airport well in advance of the flight, settle into the Sky Lounge and we hear, Beep, Beep, Beep, there has been an emergency reported in the building, please stand by while we verify the situation! Jim and I just looked at each other. Evidently the emergency was nothing and our flight went off as scheduled. We arrived home safely.
