International Flights....WOW

Wow . . . what an adventure! My flight was delayed in New York because the flight attendants hadn’t gotten in from another delayed flight, which caused me to miss my connection in London. They only allow one carry- on piece of luggage in London, so I had to go back to where they check you in and check another bag, then back through security . . . whew! I wouldn't have made it even if I had not been delayed. You walk for miles and every destination sends you to another. They fail to tell you how far it is, so you walk, and walk and walk! Wouldn’t you think they would tell you only one carry-on in New York? Gotta love airports! The London Airport (Heathrow) was so busy with lines of 50-60 people at all times. So even with all the problems with luggage and delays, it makes me very thankful to be an American. My fear was that I would have to leave some of the countless baby clothes, blankets, toys, diapers, baby wipes and Cleft Palate feeders I was able to accumulate before I left. I ended up with a duffel bag (50 lbs) of useful items. I’ll let you know what happens! So, instead of being on the 9:45 am flight, the only other flight out of here is at 6:40 pm, which is 11:40 pm to you. Needless to say, there was no sleeping on the 6 hour flight from JFK to London. Can you say Jet lag? I am trying to stay awake today so that when I get to Bucharest, I will sleep during the night. I am doing ok and can’t wait to get there. Thanks to all of you who are emailing. (Suzie11111@aol.com) I love getting your emails. Keep me posted on anything I need to know, don’t wait ‘til I get home!! Realize these posts could also have wierd times and dates on them. I am writing offline and when I get access, I post them quickly. More soon.
