 So far so good....We've made it safe and sound to London thanks to a great flight on British Airways.  I really helped when we checked in at Vancouver and got upgraded to business class.  We got put on the upper deck of a 747 and our seats were little 'pods' that converted into full flat beds...Very comfy indeed  (except for 2 hours of pretty good turbulence that made sleeping a challenge.  Arrived at Heathrow 20 minutes early, transferred to Terminal 4 and found our Yotel (www.yotel.com) for a 12 hour layover here.   Very cool little pod hotel,private room, bath and bed...which was comfy and got a good sleep.

Next leg of our journey is just a few hours away and we're hoping it's as 'easy peasy' (they really say that here..alot!) as the first.  So I'm off for now and the next entry will come from Tel Aviv...Chris says shalom to all...please join us in praying for our luggage surviving Heathrow (it's affectionately called deathrow luggage system for all the 'dead bags' that don't connect)...So long for now and we'll talk to you again from TA.

le plus dure est fait
Wow...12 hours of layover...It should allow you to recuperate your luggage (I hope).

This blog is fun. It is allowing us to have a direct view on what you are seeing. I am looking forward to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem.

Bye
