Northern Immersion - Home

We had absolutely no issues with time as we drove across town, returned the rental car, and got checked into the flight.  I can only thank the Lord on High for watching over us with all of that chaos, because it could have been bad.  We had time to spare, so we grabbed a second breakfast at the airport (the first being a pathetic continental breakfast at the hotel).

In London, we had to go through two security checkpoints (one when we arrived and one when we were departing).  When we arrived at the check-in gate, I was selected for another random security check.  I had to be pat down, open up all of my bags for search, and answer a series of questions.  The guy even pulled out the cracker box in my bag and looked at the expiration date.  Apparently, it is a crime to transport stale crackers across international lines!  Terrorists don’t stand a chance with security measures like these.

The rest of the trip was uneventful.  We arrived in Dallas late the same day (traveling back in time has its advantages), located our car (which started, thankfully), and somehow found our way home (despite not having driven the route in weeks).  Tomorrow is going to be industrial laundry day and then back to work on Monday.  Sigh…


Well, I will always remember this trip fondly.  Thank you for reading through the adventure to the very end.  Hopefully, it will inspire you to have an adventure of your own.
