I am not one of those travelers who likes to go but then is ready to come home or loves to come home, I could stay gone forever. However I guess I did have to come back to reality.

The flight home was uneventful. We got our premium seats on this flight which made me realize how much we were screwed on the flight going over. I don’t think $500 was enough. We made to the airport without any problems and because we had entered our test results we breezed through check in and headed right in. There is pretty good shopping at Heathrow so we were able to spend our time. Although I went back on my plan of never using anything without wheels for a carry on and learned again why I made that decision. Next trip my carryon for the return must have wheels. Val’s was even worse so it was a bit awkward wandering through the airport. but we got on our flight and 3 movies and a little blog writing later we touched down at DFW.

It was a great trip even with the Covid issues I have no regrets of traveling overseas. I hope the testing requirements are gone before my next trip but I would do it anyway (Val probably not). I am so ready to retire so that I can travel whenever I want and stay gone as long as I like. Hopefully a few years and I’ll be on permanent vacation. Until then I have a lot of books to read.

Can’t wait for the next adventure.
