safe in heathrow

     Flying over London was incredible.  It made me wish that my stay here was a hundred times longer than these measly four hours >,<
     Heathrow has lived up to all its expectations and is HUGE.  My gate doesn't even open until 16:35 (my flight is at 17:50) so I don't know where I'm going yet!  I'm drinking a cup of constant comment to keep me alert, as if I needed the inducement!  Have I mentioned how cool it is when everyone around you is speaking like Harry Potter?
     You won't believe my luck on the plane.  Originally, I was assigned a window seat--which is awesome!-- (41K), but lo!  Who should be seated beside me but my shadow... A whole three empty seats in a row to myself.  I stayed awake for a bit (maybe two hours or a little less) watching a new Winnie the Pooh movie (very bad indeed!) before trying to sleep.  I got anywhere between 6 and 8 hours but feel odd and sore.  Earplugs were an /excellent/ investment.
     Difficult to tell what time it is.  While it was mostly chilly on the plane, the airport here is /stiffling/.  I'm actually wearing a skirt at present.  /shakes head: silly American!
