Whenever I plan a trip, I might go just a bit overboard. First,
I draft a loose plan on where we want to go, what to do and maybe plan some of
where we want to eat.
This trip is no different. I knew that we wanted to go to England
and spend part of our time in New England with family.
The idea was to spend one night in Boston on the way out and
about a week on the return trip.
Well, it’s been said that no plan survives contact with the
enemy, and this plan was no different.
Because the trip included two red-eye flights, we somehow
managed to cut out the overnight stay in Boston. The result was we were up for
almost 48 hours.
Needless to say, when we arrived at Heathrow airport, a full
two days after leaving LAX, we were both beat.
Plans went to the wind, and we went to the hotel, checked
in, found dinner and went to the room to pass-out.
We ate at the restaurant across the street, basically a
modern English version of the Howard Johnson chain.
I had a steak, not the best steak ever, but totally
passable.
Tomorrow, we head to Oxford for a river cruise.
