The Limey has landed. It was so good to sleep in my own bed last night and to get lots of hugs from the Cap'n.

The flight problems of the last few days actually had a silver lining for me. I got bumped up to Upper Class - the plane was FULL and I think my seat went to someone who couldn't fly the day before. Champagne before takeoff, good Chardonnay while in the air, food served on china plates and even a foot rest and a duvet that allowed me to nap part of the way back. Now I need a lottery win so that I can fly that way every time.

Unlike Heathrow, where it takes forever to get through passport control and baggage the time form touchdown to exiting the airport was about 30 minutes and that meant that I caught an earlier bus than expected and got me home earlier.

I loved my time in the UK. I have two wonderful kids, both of whom have lovely partners and it is a joy to spend time with my grandbabies. It is nice, however, to get back home after a while.

Next week we're away for a couple of weeks, heading for Florida but taking in visits with various friends on the way there and back.

Right now I have to start looking at air fares for a Spring break to the UK for the Cap'n and me. I WILL prise the remote out of his hand and get him on the plane!
