Back in the States

I'm blogging from the Admiral's Club in the Raleigh-Durham airport. Bob and I are waiting for our flight to Dallas. The flight here from London wasn't bad at all. We were very lucky to get the bulkhead seats again for the extra leg room. But we're going to fly first class on the last leg to Dallas! Yeah, I'm excited. Bob upgraded, and technically, since his flight was the only flight we paid for (mine was on his miles), they usually only upgrade the paid ticket. But again...we lucked out. Yes!

Last night we stayed at the Hilton at Gatwick Airport. We were given a brand new room. It was lovely, and nice and quiet. But when we checked out, we gave them a list of things that needed to be fixed in the room. The bathroom sink leaked on the floor. Two lights needed new bulbs. The shower door didn't close properly. And the shower hose almost fell off the wall. Nice room, but...

So after flying six different legs on this trip, we'll be glad to climb into our own bed tonight. Traveling is great, but it's always nice to come home.
