2 Days, 4 Airports
Another day, another airport. This time I’m waiting for my flight to London at SFO, having left Denver this morning after an enjoyable holiday visit (executive summary: watched loads of MST3K DVDs with my Dad and brothers, made pilgrimage to Bull & Bush, hung out in dive bars with new weblogger and former co-worker Chris Jones, saw Return of the King again, did the usual family/Christmas stuff). If you’re thinking it’s a bit stupid that I flew all the way back to California just to cover the same distance during my flight to the UK, well, you’re right. Suffice to say, it’s a long story…
After the 8-odd hour flight to Heathrow (which I think I’ve come to despise more every time I’ve done it), I’ll be boarding another yet another flight to Edinburgh. Bottom line: I’ve got many frequent flier miles to go before I sleep.
On a happier note, it’s looking like the last minute trip I made to REI in Denver was a brilliant idea. If The Scotsman’s predictions of freezing Hogmanay weather are accurate, I think I’ll be appreciating my new Polartec fleece very much before the trip is over!
