Yes. I wanted to spend extra hours in charlotte, including one on the plane before deboarding and switching planes becauae a de icing sensor signal is being bad. Guess its good we have no connection (like others) and it wasnt at the start of our trip. Still have 2.5 of driving though after the 2.5 flight and we've been up now since midnight central time.

Kicking myself now for not doing the nonstop from Manchester. We'll survive, was just looking forward to a decent arrival time.

Somebody's checked luggage came open and the crew just put it on the elevator unzipped. Lol, just like **** it, not my job to zip it. Window seat guy ahead of me and I joked that the ord crew will get a surprise when they open the hold.

Well, you're having a KC Clone flight back, aren't you? Sorry!

You left London at the right time though...someone just mowed down some tourists with a van on London Bridge.

Holy hell. Dh is looking now and it looks like multiple incidents in London. My mom's paranoia may not have been overdone. Nor mine when walking along roads. There was a HEAVY police presence in Paris yesterday and at a big, crowded intersection next to the Eiffel tower, there were lots of cops/soldiers but I wondered how much good it would be if someone decided to do just that.
So awful and uncomfortably close.

And I take back all my flight whines. Im getting sick reading about this.We ate and walked through that area of London Wednesday night, including two bridges. I'm on the ground with Dh just a couple hours later than planned. Everything is fine.

I'm really glad you are both home and okay. Don't let that stop you from exploring the world, though!

All this London stuff reminded me of some of the letters my dad wrote home in WWII. I perused a few on Memorial Day and got hooked and spent a good part of the day reading them. In one he mention how bombs do not whistle like they do in the movies. He was still in England and had not seen combat yet so I was thinking "Huh?". Then read an earlier letter where he got leave and went to London. And an big air raid that evening which he of course decided to go outside and watch with some Army nurse. I had heard him mention being in an air raid but thought for some reason it was in Liverpool or Manchester.

Before I boast about Z, we are rehydrating while watching Dumbo. I didn't remember about the alcohol tainted water the elphant drank and the resulting dream he had......

Told Z it was due to tainted water....

Best part of that movie. That is such a catchy song (and somehow slightly unsettling).

She totally ditched it to go upstairs and watch Peppa Pig. I haven't seen the movie in so long I only remember the ears, flying, Dumbo got lost somehow, and flys to his mom at the end.
