Ok, I know I said my next post would be from London. But I'm in the Grand Rapids airport, on the free wi-fi, trying to catch up on the last episode of Survivor. Excellent reception but the video is coming in very choppy. So not really worth trying to watch it.
Had to have a secondary search at security. Not of me but of my jacket. I left my swiss card in my jacket pocket (though I'd taken out the knife, I knew that wouldn't go through!) instead of taking it out right away. So they had to go through both my jacket and my travel vest to find it, then took everything out to make sure that there was no knife. The nail file looks like a knife on x ray I guess. I could see Steve standing outside security, looking a bit concerned as to why I was being detained. He probably thought it was my geocoins. So I sent him an e-mail right away.
My flight boards in 45 minutes, and leaves in an hour and 15. We got to the airport 2 hrs early as American Airlines recommended. My carryon did fit into the little box, I was so relieved as the 9" measurement was really really close. But softside baggage does have its advantages.
I know that O'Hare does NOT have free wi-fi so my next post will probably really be from London. I'll be meeting my sister Debbie there and we'll have most of the evening to hang out together before boarding the plane that leaves at 11 p.m. Chicago time (midnight GR time.) There's a virtual geocache at O'Hare, we may try to find that. I hope so, it'll be more fun to do it with her rather than by myself on the way back.
