Our transportation system is truly amazing. At 5 AM Thursday we left our apartment in London. We walked down to the corner - got the bus to the train station. At the station - we took the express to the airport. By 9 AM we were winging our way west at 500 miles an hour racing the sun across the Atlantic.It took 9 hours to Atlanta because we had a headwind. Then going through customs there nearly made us miss the short hop to Tallahassee. Lucky for us - they reopened the plane and let us crawl up the steps.
By 5 PM - we were in our living room - it was still light out. Our bags arrived a few hours later - but everything was intact. Door to door was 17 hours adding the 5 hour time change.
While in Atlanta we crossed paths with George and Joel Dawson. They are in their 70s and leading an expedition to Tanzania - but were looking for us as we came down the escalator. We only could exchange hugs - but it was nice to see them. What a wonderful attitude they have about life.
On the last day in London - Lulu took her class to the Hard Rock Cafe. In return - they took this picture of us. We told them the story of how we are in our 40th year of marriage. Most of them were shocked - but one student made my day. She said, "Who's older?"
