The final trip of my sabattical

Returning to general travel chaos, the likelihood of being able to get to the US for Xmas appeared quite thin. But the weather has generally been ok and Heathrow is now back to around 90% service.

So I have booked in on-line for flight to Los Angeles (which encouragingly was on time today) and checked in to a hotel near Heathrow to avoid the hassle of going around M25 for mid-morning flight. I would normally just make an early start, but the fear of a burst of snow either making roads near home tricky, or affecting M25 seem to make an overnight stay seem sensible.

Fingers crossed for the morning.........

ps of course just to add to the excitement, California has been hit by floods so it might be an interesting drive when i get there!
