The London Experiment,
We began our journey to the airport knowing there was one seat left on the airplane and 3 people on standby for that seat, Greg and I being numbered 2 and 3. We picked up Arta so she could guard our car for us for the time we are away. Never have we travelled with so little luggage and we divided that in half in case I got on and Greg had to wait until the next day. We checked our under weight luggage and proceede to the gate with our standby boarding passes. The lady at the gate took our standby boarding passes and in about 10-15 minutes came back to us telling us she could not get us two seats together but we did get middle seats; five seats came open at the last minute. Half an hour later she rushed up to us, took our boarding passes and gave us both aisle seats. She said she grabbed them fast as seats were shifting. She was so kind to us…next time I am going to get a name. So yeh to getting on the plane and getting aisle seats.
London was so cold and so windy. Where was my coat and where were my gloves? We waited for the 148 bus while other buses came and left multiple times. Just happens there was a demonstration by taxi drivers going on in London. Finally I snagged a taxi and we happily paid 22 pounds for the taxi.
While we were at Victoria station I ran over to the Palace Theatre to check on tickets for Hamilton. No chance for discount tickets.
Arrived at the hotel around 2-3 p.m. and were in bed shortly after.
Standby is so far great this trip except for the anxiety level one can experience.
Love,
Wyona
