A Day in London

I started my journey home Thursday night (May 14). About two hours before I left the hotel in Nairobi I just happened to check my schedule (because, well I work for World Airways and our travel department can make even the way home less traveled) and I noticed that my frequent flier rich trip on United had been changed to British Airways. My schedule showed the origination flight on Kenyan Airways to London was still the same. When I arrived to the airport, I was informed that I didn't have a ticket on the flight (this was after about an hour standing in various lines). After another 30 minutes we worked out that I was no longer flying Kenyan but British Airways. Out of security to another terminal, back through security and I finally found someone who knew who I was! By this time all the nice seats were taken and I got 37H, this was a middle seat between to big guys (8 hours and 43 minutes of fun). After the meal service the Purser found me and moved me up to business class, I could have given this man a kiss. I went to sleep (these seats transform into beds) in comfort for the next 6 hours.
I really like London, but I rarely ever get any time there. Because of a restful nights sleep, after checking into the hotel I went out. I bought an all day tube pass and went to the British Museum. There is just something about this museum that I love - it has a very Indiana Jones feel. After the museum I walked around Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square (homage to the punks of the early 80s). Of course I went to Parliament and saw Big Ben and Buckingham Palace (the Queen was in). But by far the coolest thing I did was go to the Tower of London. I took one of the tours given by the Yeoman Warders. Very entertaining and informative.
