Well, we made it and I still hate flying. Clarification – I hate long haul commerical airline flying! My knees are still sore from being banged into. But we left only a few minutes late, were an hour late into London, our taxi was waiting for us, and we are now at home with a cup of tea, a load of laundry in and sorting out stuff for work tomorrow.
There is snow, but most of the roads are clear, though our pavement is a bit slippy.

Well, made it through the chaos that is BA bag drop/checkin/whatever. It’s a mess – the signs were wrong, no one knew where to go or what was happening, they waited forever to open so there was a mass of people in the queue. Just a mess. But we got through and got through security and are now sat in the bar having a drink and watching the Dallas/Eagles game. The best bit of the whole mess? We have been told that there is no delay for the flight.

Waiting for the BA bag drop to open. Virgin is checking people in so we’re hopeful there will be a flight.
We didn’t do much today. Got up, made sure we were all packed, checked out, found the bus (Deuce), and went to Paris. Decided we didn’t like any of the places to eat in Paris so headed over to Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon and had a very nice sandwich. Then walked the Strip back down to the Welcome sign (very very very long walk). Back on the bus and off to collect bags and head to the airport. Said bye to the little Beetle and got the shuttle to the terminal. Where we wait.
And no, we’re not sure we want to come back! It’s cold there. And I’d been complaining about the cold here! Barely up to 60 most of the time. San Diego was about as warm as we got and that was lovely. So please ensure all snow and ice and nasty cold dark stuff is removed before our flight lands. Ta.
