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.
