AAAaaagh

Delayed into London! My flight, unusually, had a stopover. SFO-JFK-LHR.
The flight to JFK was no problem. Until we had to land via autopilot because JFK was foggy. That�s unusual according to the fei poh UA flight attendants.
Eeeerrrrrrwhiiiiineeeee THUD. “Welcome to New York”.
Because of the fog, my Heathrow flight was delayed two hours!
The food was mediocre. Beef or pasta on both flights. The domestic flight beef was salty. The potatoes had no character and the spinach was pale. The international pasta was better. It was a tortelinni dish.
I should have given into my darker self and gotten Chicken McNuggets before I got on the LHR flight.
There’s a lot of weather over the Atlantic. I was rocked to slumber by turbulence. Couldn�t get much sleep otherwise.
Once we landed, the plane was shunted to the part of LHR where planes get parked.
That meant airstairs and than a basi.
Took the Tube to Lancaster Gate, that took an hour. (note to self: take Heathrow Express when leaving).
Then the agent that was supposed to meet me with the keys left.
I still don�t have a SIM card (they aren�t as available as they are in HKG or SIN).
And on top of it all, it�s cold (San Francisco cold) and it�s raining!!!
The one saving grace is that there�s a pub nearby that serves lunch. So I�m waiting for an order of Fish and Chips with a pint of John Smith�s Extra Smooth bitters.
Then I get to call the agent guy back.
Oh yeah, stuff is expensive here. Makes Tokyo look like a bargain.
