9 hours trapped in a tight seat. Try this at home. Sit in a small chair and have a friend tie your legs to the legs of the chair, then wait 9 hours. I envy people with short legs. We got very little sleep. Left at 8pm and got out of the airport about 2pm after passing through passport control. London is 8 hours ahead of Seattle, so we got out at 6am on the body clock. Took the Tube to our hotel, got a little drowsy on the ride. Mind the gap.

Well, that sucked.

There was absolutely no line going through airport security.

Now we wait. It only took about an hour and a half to get from the house, through security, and to the gate. We wanted to get here early so we could eat, but with the flight delay, we now have 4 hours until takeoff. Usually we drive to the airport, but this time we used a shuttle service, so we couldn’t change the time of leaving the house. Oh well, more time to worry if I remembered to turn off the coffee pot.

Ready, set go!
