August 29th
We are off to Reading, close to London as we have flights to Hamilton tomorrow. Dad and Cass load up the car with all of our luggage and set off driving. Mom Brady Becky and I set off by train. I did not think Brady would be as nervous as he was about train travel. We had to switch trains at Wolverhampton, and as we were pulling into the train station Brady stood up to go to the restroom he placed his Nintendo ds in the pocket of the seat in front of him, we would not let him go as you have a very short time like 3 minutes to get off the train in the station. In the flurry to get off the train he left his Nintendo ds on the train. The porters called the next station to see if they could get the porter at that station to go on and see if it was still there, they could.d not get om the train quick enough, the porter at the next stop got on to check and it was no longer there. What can you do at that point? except accept that it;s gone. We continued on to Reading, it was no surprise that Dad and Cass beat us to the hotel. For dinner we were challenged by the fact that we could only fit 5 in the car, so we did 2 trips to the mall and 2 trips back to the hotel. Brady was asleep early, head back mouth open crashed kind of sleep. I had a difficult time falling asleep. Once I was asleep,Brady awoke to use the bathroom, the door slammed hard behind him and then I heard a knock, followed by another knock I got out of bed and hobbled toward the bathroom to discover, Brady was knocking on the door while standing in his boxers, in the hallway of the hotel, he does not remember this happening, I am thinking is good he was awake enough to knock. Next vacation, Brady will be the only 11/12 year old with bungee cords attached to his parents!!! The ride into Gatwick the next morning was uneventful for us, Dad and Cass had difficulties finding the car rental lot to return the car and in the end they paid a cab driver to drive in front of them to show them where it was. They arrived just in time to the airport for check, we had begun to worry, when they arrived.Plane was delayed and directed over dover before heading up to Glasgow and on to Hamilton...Yahoo! we are going home to Canada
