My plane ride was generally very good except I placed my expensive, ear plugs (that prevent popping of ears) on the food tray that was taken away and placed into the plane's galley black hole.
Oh well, that was the worst thing to happen in my whole trip. I can't complain.
As the plane touches down it is pouring rain. Finally, that typical English weather!
i enjoyed reading about your travels! Oddly enough, I live in Derbyshire and will be travelling to Ottawa this summer... a back to front version of your journey!
