The journey to Heathrow was quick and there was hardly any traffic on the roads, which is something you can rarely say about the Heatrow run. Arriving at Heathrow the cab driver dropped me off right outside the British Airways check in desk. I walked in and the checkin desk was open and empty, so I checked in using the self service terminals and then just checked by bag.

Once through security I had the required walk around the shops but was bored by the 3rd so grabbed a coffee and watched the planes come in and out. Once again you can only watch this for so long before you start going crazy.

I met up with a collegue who as also flying out and we boarded without problems. We had the customary drink (soft) well it was 10:00 in the morning then the brunch, before kicking back and watching a film (300 – quite good, not really much of a story, but lots of blood).

We then did some work before kicking back and well I’m writting my blog……I’ll update again later, once I reach the hotel.
