Traveled back to the states

We flew back to Washington, DC today. Dad's flight was delayed slightly. It's great to be back in the states. I'm spending time up north before I head back to TPA.

Last London Looks then on to Paris

Today Boxing Day is a holiday following Christmas and observed in England, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Its major significance at this time seems to be a setting for the post-Christmas sale.

Travel to London, LHR

Boarded an United Airlines jet to Washington Dulles (IAD). Arrived on-time (546 - sunrise in-route to IAD) and met mom. Traffic to Dulles, said mom, was terrible. She made the international flight to London Heathrow (LHR) with just 20 minutes to spare!
