A tail wind from Seattle to London made the 10 hour flight only 9 1/2 hours. We left Seattle at 11 pm on Friday, arrived at Heathrow at 4;30 pm and by 7 pm I was eating tomato soup with roasted red pepper, a roll, then chicken breast, new potatoes, salad and a Belgium beer, Stella Artois for only 7.95 at the youth hostel. Delicious. Then strolled the charming neighborhood around King's Cross neighborhood.
Vicki, my travel companion, and I are ready to get the 9:30 train from King's Cross to Newcastle, arriving at 12;25 pm.
Feel not too bad after the transatlantic flight, a good night's rest and a hearty breakfast.
Onward!
