HEADING HOME SMILING








Phew! Couldn't have squeezed much more into three days in London. Not enough time to take the Tube into the City today, so headed early to Heathrow for a Costa Coffee and a stationery store--a weakness of mine. Picked up some A4 paper and envelopes--just for fun--and a spiral notebook for more organized note making. I have such a variety of slips of paper from this trip--things I did, things I want to do, things to remember. . .

And, since Heathrow is a city unto itself, I head for the Post in Terminal 2 to purchase a padded envelope so that the Wellies get sent on their way to my three-year old granddaughter in Central Europe. No need to carry them to the U.S. and then pay way more to mail them back!

 

Also, Boots has several Heathrow locations and I picked up more tubes of the E45 moisturizing cream I discovered on this trip. I love it! Originally found it during my Tesco run to secure the shampoo, toothpaste, etc. that my no frills hotel couldn't provide.
A traveler's tip--check with the gate agent to see if there is bulkhead seating available. These seats are usually assigned at the gate. I was lucky enough to secure an aisle bulkhead seat, and ended up with an open seat on each side. Pure luxury in coach class!

Chicago is snowbound. A couple of feet--no kidding--fell the day we left for Europe, and then our village got another hit just yesterday. Sure wish I could take this London spring with me. It has been a delight.
