London, Briefly
I did something this week that I’ve never done before. I traveled to another country, and didn’t bother to bring a camera. So no photos to share.
The reason I didn’t bring a camera was that I knew it was going to be an extremely short and busy trip. And I was right. I landed at Heathrow late Monday afternoon, met with colleagues in the evening, went to a meeting in the morning, and was back at Heathrow Tuesday afternoon to fly home.
When I stepped onto the Northwest A300 for my return flight, the flight crew teased me. “Hey, we just dropped you off yesterday, you can’t go home yet!” “Could you do this every day? We sure need the business.”
I have some more meetings in London next month, but they’re spread out over a few days. Watch for photos of London then. Meanwhile, I’ll just say that I found the tube trains convenient, and I love the way everyone says “cheers.” It’s a little thing, but it’s so … I don’t know, cheerful.
