My plane from Denver took off about three hours late due to mechanical failures, general delays, and harsh rains – pretty much the three main reasons (not counting geese) that can screw up air travel. That being said, I also screwed up my seat assignment by not checking in early. They settled me in the geographical center of coach. Two people on each side of me.
HOWEVER, as we were boarding, a woman offered me an identical seat (or so she thought) 5 rows back so she could sit with her daughters. I graciously accepted and walked back to find a beautiful aisle seat at the very end of the plane with enough leg room to stretch one whole side at a time. All things work out for the best, you know? :)
The flight itself was pretty shaky, even for a 777. On approach to London we went through the worst turbulence I’ve ever experienced. I actually like it – it makes things interesting. We were rocking back and forth, coffee was spilling, children were…laughing. And then we touched down and I took myself across London on the Tube. I’m checked in and unpacking my junk and ready to get training for this stuff. I think we’ll be hanging out mostly with folks from the Tony Blair Faith Foundation here in the city – I can’t wait to get started! I’ve appended the video version below:
