Aug. 19 flight over the pond

We left Brideville loaded down to the hilt with 4 large suitcases packed in the Gray's car along with numerous hand luggage. The flight over the pond was pretty uneventful. It was a large plane and almost every seat was taken. Herb ended up with 2 seats open next to him, so he moved over and Vicky sat on the other aisle. Nice, since they ended up with an open seat between them. Actually, I found the British Airways plane to be larger than most trans Atlantic flights I have been on in the past. We landed at Heathrow 30 mins. ahead of schedule with a total flight time of just 6 hours and change. We managed to get a little sleep. Sat at Heathrow over 2.5 hours waiting for our flight to Edinburgh. Just arrived and are set up in our room at the Marriott. Plan to nap, shower then get something to eat before heading to town for tonight's Tattoo performance. Weather is overcast and about 68 degrees. Humid with showers predicted. The Marriott reception clerk said to have a coat and rain gear, "just in case".

We have not see Vicky and Herb since we arrived at the airport nearly 5 hours ago. Could they still be sleeping?  Doubt it, since the hotel decided to have a fire alarm testing at 2 that woke us up!!

More later about our adventures at The Tattoo on my next post.  But first some meal - not sure what it is since we haven't had anything since 5 a.m. when B.A. gave us a muffin and coffee.
