Home.

Finally home. Flight from London changed, sending us to Chicago; delayed; missed connecting flight in Dallas, forced to spend night there, sans luggage. American Airlines vouchered us for most of the cost of a room at Embassy Suites, and we were happy to go to sleep rather than take a third flight in one day, anyway. This morning we took the final flight to Sacramento.

Day in London.

Unfortunately Nancy seems to be coming down with the same cold which I had during the week. We made it from our hotel in Kensington to central London and took the tour of HMS Belfast (highly recommended); stopped at Harrod's on our return, but being Sunday and a SALE day, it was bedlam. Nancy was disinclined to struggle with the situation and after a coffee break we packed it in.

Due to an early departure time tomorrow (and poor night's sleep- small bed last night), we have forfeited our second night in Kensington and moved to a Holiday Inn near Heathrow for our final redoubt.
