Day 4 - Arrival in London!

Jecca drove us to Logan in the morning with amazingly little traffic.  There we were with 2 fairly small bags each!  And, Mark had already printed our boarding cards.  We had to walk to Terminal B (from E) as American Airlines leaves from there, even though we booked our flight through British Air.  At any rate, we went through security incredibly quickly.  (10 minutes)  Then - after an iced coffee, we went directly to the gate.

There were only about FORTY PEOPLE on the entire plane - a 757.  So, we were very well taken care of and, for much of the flight, we stretched out in separate rows - 3 seats each.  There was NO turbulence, which was a relief as Barbara is a nervous flier.
Everything was on time.  We breezed through British customs as there was NO line at all.  Ken was there to pick us up with next-door-neighbor John.  John drove the M-4 right through London so we had a great tour right away.

Flying during the day is fabulous.  We arrived in London at 8:30 at night, which was only 4:30 to us. (The U.S. 'sprang ahead', but Europe doesn't adjust their clocks for 2 more weeks.)  So, we had a lovely reception in West Wickham with Chris and Ken and got to bed around midnight in London, but it was only 8 to us.  It must have been our easiest flight ever.
