Captains Log - Day 1 - 01/18

So while downing pints on our vacation to the UK, we decided to keep a captains log lest we forget our experiences.

Dee quickly commanded one of her cohorts at the Hilton Swindon to bring us a pen and paper. I will regale you with the contents of that paper on this and the following posts. So rewind to Day 1.

On my arrival at DFW, I met Kinoty who had already arrived a few minutes earlier. We checked in and opted to kill the 4-5 hour wait by taking a cab to a nearby mall to grab some lunch. We called Paul Oeri who happened to be very tied up.

We returned to DFW with 2 hours to kill so we proceeded to our gate, and decided to while time nursing a couple of cold drafts at the Thank God Its Friday (TGIF) chain.

With 5 minutes to board time, Kinoty went to check whether there were any changes and indeed there were! We hurriedly downed our drafts and proceeded to catch the train(Skylink) to the new gate.

We boarded on time and drifted in and out of sleep for the 10 hour flight.
