| The One That Got Away |
On the list of things Carol Jean wanted to do was ride in a traditional black London taxi. With the tube strike it looked like this was going to happen. Having scheduled a 6:30 am pickup at the hotel, we walked outside to see a Mercedes minivan - not exactly what she was hoping for but it made for a comfortable ride to Heathrow. Our driver was busy checking his lottery numbers when we came out of the hotel. He assured us if he won, he would still drive us to the airport but we would be his last passengers. He didn't win and we assume we were not his last passengers.
Ellen, Carol Jean and Heide got out at Terminal 1 where they would catch their AerLingus flight to Dublin and then another to Chicago. Janet continued on to Termianl 5, the British Airways terminal, to catch her non-stop to Washington. After hugs good-bye we were on our way home. It was so long ago when we first discussed a trip to Enland for three sisters and one cousin. Now our trip was finished and we were headed back home across the pond with memories for a lifetime.
