Flight CO 4T to London Heathrow has never seen the likes of a trio like Duncan,
Stephens & Haynes. (sounds like a law firm) Our unlikely posse is heading to London to see the sights and experience the unique flavors of our sister country. I rested so well on the plane following the advice of my sister Kim, an experienced international traveler. Between snoozes I met the nicest young man, Hank, a second year college student. (Tulane University in New Orleans)
Hank was enroute to Iceland, of all places. His older brother, a stock broker, was covering the expense for him and his other brother to vacation together. We shared how lucky we both are to be traveling to wonderful places designed by God. How fortunate we are to have love of family and friends. I gave him my flight snacks, and he ordered my cranberry juice every time the beverage cart came around whether I was asleep or not. "
"What a gentleman, you don't see that much anymore," quipped the lady in seat "C."
"I do," I proudly asserted, "My son is like that." So I gloat. I'm not sure what to expect in London but I do have an idea about what I want to do there. I'm excited about the many firsts that I will experience.

Hey Friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here awe-struck that my friend is blogging!!! I can't believe I didn't think about it before, it's a perfect fit for you as much as you love to journal!
OK...so here are my responses...I was happy to read that Kim only chased a kangaroo and not a Tasmanian devil!! And leave it to my friend to enjoy my cultural heritage in Australia--thick pan pizza! haha! From the cathedral to the wildlife to the opera house and the amusement park...what amazing experiences! I'm green with envy!
And on a final note...not at all surprised by the sleepy bobbed head at the opera--I have witnessed my friend falling asleep at an Astros game and even the Houston Rodeo!
Love & miss ya,
Naomi :-)
