Home to London, May 30

Well, we are finally at the Asheville airport praying that the plane is not delayed as we fly to Atlanta to connect with the international flight to Heathrow. Been quite a day so far given the continual rain showers we've experienced over the past several days. Alberto, the first named storm of the season, has dumped many an inch of rain causing the closure of I 40 due to a mud slide, as well as many side roads. We left early for the airport thinking that a reasonable delay could be dealt with...and we had one on I 40 with two of three lanes closed.

The plane for Atlanta left almost on time and here we sit, at gate F-8 with over an hour to chill and think about our walk over the next couple of weeks.

Took a pic of Arlene in Asheville during lunch and she gave me the evil eye for taking it, but memories are memories. Also note the O'Corn airlines picture that I saw during our concourse to concourse walk. Pretty neat. Note the two of us on the plane and a wonderful picture of the big jet we flew on.

I was forced to delete the initial pic of Arlene, but I still have my memories.

Will be on the plane shortly, landing tomorrow morning at 0720 if all goes well. Hope we have a decent meal tonight.

Sleep tight...we hope to get some shut eye too.Læs mere
