Captains Log - Day 7 - 01/24

Final entry in the Captains Log.

We woke up early enough to have a hurried Hilton English breakfast. (Kinoty has stories about his big late night promises about breakfast)

We took a cab to Victoria to barely make it onto the Gatwick Express. We had a very hurried goodby with Dee which was probably for the best since goodbyes can tend to be teary.

30 minutes later we were at Gatwick Airport, checking in and seated on our plane which was much roomier. We drifted in and out of sleep and conversation for the 10 hour flight.

On arrival at DFW we decided to kill some time at TGIF. After sharing an appetizer combo plate which the patron seated next to us inhaled on his own, we could not help but comment on the sudden presence of large people. As captain, I concluded aptly that Europeans are much smaller than Americans.

We then realized that we were running late and again scurried to catch the Skylink with no time to spare. I made it to my gate in good time and slept all the way to Los Angeles where my Smita was waiting at the Southwest arrivals (she just flew in from Houston). I took the wrong bus to meet her and instead of 2 minutes later, it was 20 minutes later we were on a cab home.

Its good to be home!

Captains Conclusion: I loved this trip. Feel free to comment.
