OK - so staff at Heathrow have just announced a 24 hour strike on January 7th - the day before we're due to fly out. What effect will this have on our travel plans? Who knows. When will we get to Sydney? No idea. My temporal lobes are disoriented already, and we haven't left yet. Hopefully the dispute will be settled before the strike date. If not, we can only hope our flight isn't pushed back too much. We're due into Sydney about 8am Thursday, so we should still be there for Friday night whatever happens.

Our luggage will probably be in San Diego by then, of course.
