a long trip home...

So, for the second Friday in a row I had a less than optimal travel experience...

but don't worry, I had travel rule one in mind... rule 2 as well!

a 2.25 hour flight from Bp to London took six hours... six hours, in a middle seat! the crew on this BA flight was great... but six hours from boarding to getting off the plane at Heathrow... hey, no expectations here...

but, I made it to my flight to DC because it was an hour an a half late taking off... and much to my surprise, since I was late arriving at the second leg, I lost my assigned seat for another middle seat - great... its not better, its not worse, its just different...

SO we landed at 1205 Saturday morning... and guess what? my bags didn't make it... I didn't expect them to... but BA was great, instead of making us wait to come to them, they called us all over to the podium and told us our bags were delayed and took our addresses! I was blessed by this step!

Then sweet Anna and I headed home... at 0230 I thoughtlessly and hurriedly hit Ruckersville at 60 (a 45 zone), uh oh... Greene County turned on his lights and came and got me...

he asked me a few questions, I asked for some slack, he said wait in the car... 3 min later he gave me my licence and registration back and told me to slow down... yes, you heard right - a warning from Greene County... God blessed me. "Wow", I said... "Thank you Jesus," sweet Anna said...

at 0330 (that's 0930 in Bp) I laid my head on my own pillow for the first time in six weeks and a day... it is good to be home.
