Woke this morning at 4 and started getting ready. Went down to the buffet breakfast in the Holiday Inn at 4:30. It was a disappointment. The roll were cold, there was no hot entree' so I had cereal and coffee. Even the fruit was some kind of stuff out of a can. The 5:15 shuttle was on time, we made our way to the British Air check in and sailed smoothly through security. My bag made it without additional screening. British Air served a cold croissant with ham and cheese and pepper ketchup inside. Not great, I didn't finish but the juice was good. Did the Heathrow bus between terminal 5 and 3 and sat next to a lovely girl from Shelby working for the World Health organization in Zimbabwae. Lovely young lady, getting married next week. Lots of screening to get into our gate area for the flight to Raleigh. We had a total of 5 glasses of wine. First meal was cheese ravioli, second round was vanilla ice cream and the final was a mergerita wrap which I liked. The ravioli came with salad, cherry crumb cake, cheese and cracker and a pretzel roll.We got in early at 1:30. We had to wait quite a while to get through customs. Not sure why they are so slow, this is the only International flight into Raleigh. Got home, rested a few hours, then went to Kroger for groceries. We weren't very hungry so had some watermelon and a peanut butter sandwich for dinner. We should stay up until at least 9 or 10 but I was so tired I went to bed at 7 PM. This is considered not a good idea to reset your biological timezone. |
