The next morning, I ran around packing all my stuff and within an hour, we were off to the airport. Daniel and I met up with David at the airport. Off to Houston, TX we go!
The 4.5 hour flight dragged on for way too long. It made me wonder how I was going to survive the 9 hour flight we had in store. When we got to Texas, it was surprisingly greener than I had imagined it to be--closer to a Seattle-green that a Richland-gray(atleast from the airplane view).
The 9 hour flight somehow seemed about as long as the 4.5 hour flight probably because I slept for most of it. The other half the time was spent trying to prop up Daniel's head with the pillow which kept falling over no matter where I put it. That and watching Rattatouille and When in Rome, both very cute movies.
Heathrow airport in London was huge. We had to take a 10 minute tram just to get to our gate. Once we got there, the whole area just looked like a huge Nordstrom with expensive perfumes, shoes, clothes, etc. I ordered a sandwich here with this strange vegetable called rocket which had a very strong taste.
The last flight was fairly short... see you soon, Rome!
Strange Airport Signs - Apparently all the women in London do not have arms and have enormous hips. Also, the 'gate' sign looks like a moose to me.
