Living in London

After three long weeks in London we are ready to return to California. With 5 roller bags (2 large suitcases, a medium suitcase, a computer bag, and a small roller carry-on), a duffle bag, a back pack and 2 purses, we piled into a cab and headed to the airport. Imagine our surprise when the check-in agent redirected us to a ticket counter. The inbound aircraft had experienced mechanical problems in Washington and wouldn't arrive until 10:00 PM. Our flight had been rescheduled for 8:00 AM Saturday morning.  Aarghhh! Another night in London is not a problem, but all that luggage to schlep to another hotel and unpack again.

United has put us up in the Sheraton Skyline just across from Heathrow. Despite the fact that a take-off runway is directly across the street from the hotel, the room is pleasantly quiet.
