Hello from London, where I will be spending the next seven hours. Lady luck has not been on my side for my travels to Edinburgh; I was supposed to arrive at 10:35 this morning, but that's not happening. Recap: My flight from Boston to London last night was delayed 3.5 hours, meaning I missed my connection at Heathrow to Edinburgh this morning. They booked me on an afternoon flight, and imagine my excitement when I saw that flight was delayed 4 hours.
So hopefully I'll be getting into Edinburgh at around 8 tonight, but given my experience so far that may be thinking positive. The London flight was delayed because of mechanical problems, but I'm pretty sure weather's the cause of the Edinburgh delays. Keep your fingers crossed for sunshine to break through the freezing fog!
I'm writing from the British Airways lounge, which is admittedly a pretty swank place to spend the next 7 hours. I don't know how exactly I gained admittance, but there's enough free food, wine, and wireless to occupy me as I count down to takeoff. Hopefully time to sleep too - I think I've clocked a total of 4 hours since I left yesterday.
In other news, British accents have kept me amused despite the frustrations this part of my adventure has brought. Later from Edinburgh!
Why is everyone traveling to Europe right now! The most exciting place I seem to travel to is minnesota. Well all the best to you. I know what it feels like to be stuck in an airport for several hours so I can relate. Of course I never got free wine and food (or internet: thank god for blackberries). Well good luck. So when are you coming back state side?
