Today is the final day of our honeymoon and it is strictly travel.
We woke up at 5am, got ready and headed to the metro. We took the metro to the train station. We scurried through security, customs and ticket check to board the TGV to London. This is the same train we took to get to Paris at the beginning of the trip. We had a bit more leg room because there was only 1 person across from us. A travel note on the TGV if you are traveling with 2. Book seats across from each other, not next to each other. It is better for your legs.
We disembarked in London, found our way to the the Underground. It was a zoo. At first, it seemed a bit unusaual until we realized it was the 6th anniversary of the London Underground bombings. We were going through the station in which the bombings originated from and at the time the bombings occured. Obviously, security was extremely tight. There was a memorial set up for people who wished to observe.
Alan got in line for tickets while I waited with our baggage. He got our tickets and we headed to our tube line. We boarded in the chaos of rush hour with all our bags and were off. It was about an hour tube ride to Heathrow. We got to the airport, got ourselves through the most convoluted lines at an airport ever and settled. We had a couple hours to kill so we got some food at a cafe. I had a giant club sandwich and Alan had a burger.
We are sitting in Boston Logan airport doing the final post, waiting for our flight to Columbus.
Mr. & Mrs. Green
