Well everytime there is some kind of travel chaos I am usually a million miles away on the hill or cliffs somewhere trying not to get to involved, and think just how hard can it be. Now on the flip side I am wondering the same. Although I still don’t know if my flight is going to be leaving or not!
I have been glued to the BBC website, and Heathrow has cancelled all short haul flights, although it makes no mention of long haul flights. I also don’t know whether I will be able to get from the airport to Bournemouth if I actually make it back!
More annoying than disruption os the sheer volume of people at LAX. I am currently at my hotel, but last night at midnight there were still thousands of people at the airport both coming and going. I suspect that today it is going to be even worse. I am meant to fly at 5pm (LA time) but will have to wait and see. On the plus side there was a free shuttle bus to my hotel.
So far on my epic journey home I have been on four flights, stopped off in three time zones, crossed the equator and stayed in two hotels. On the plus side because I wasn’t getting in a hire car I turned the first two days of the journey into a an elaborate pub crawl.
