We attempted to fly out of Charlotte at 2030 hrs (8:30pm) Monday. Due to normal travel issues, we never took off until 0015 hr (12:15AM) Tuesday. After an exhausting 8 hour flight we landed at Heathrow airport in London at 1245 (12:45pm, 7:45 EST). Once we made our way through the airport and went to find our rental car, which was not there. We then had to take a taxi to the car rental place, since they did not have a car waiting for us. The car rental then chared us for additional insurance and a high rate then originally quoted and they wanted a deposit, for a payment we made in advance. This added an additional $500 to our car rental bill. So we finally got out of London around 1400 and made our way to Evesham, where our daughter Kristina lives. We got settled in our hotel around 1700. Getting us to Kristina’s around 1740, leaving us about 2 hours to meet and play with our grandson Fynn. Fynn is autistic so being introduced to him was a challenge. He reconized me but was afraid of Kevin, which is normal. Once I pulled out two little stuffed dinosaurs, it seem to settle him and he went back to play.
We spent about three hours with family and then went back to our hotel for a good night sleep.
