We had to circle London for 15 minutes till we got a free runway and another 20 minutes on the runway because the jet bridge was occupied by another delayed airplane - boohoo for the wait.
The security part in Heathrow airport sucked a bit, I had a big backpack with lots of stuff in it and needed to opened it up and get everything out for inspection - boohoo again.
Then I had 30 minutes before I knew which gate to go to, so I sat down in the nearest pub and asked for a pint Guinness and there was none, WTH? no Guinness in London?!? So I got Stella instead :-)
I went to the gate and boarded the next flight to Washington DC. This was a longer flight and had a couple with their baby next to me, the baby cried for ages and it was extremely annoying, for me and all the other passengers around. Good thing that I had my phone and earphones, So I had some music to block the noise.
In fact, there were lots of kids on this flights, I suppose it's because it's summer break.
The toilets on the plane looked like toilets in a busy club - pee everywhere - boohoo-yuck.
The landing was OK, we went down from the plane and then boarded this strange vehicle, it was bigger then a bus, sort of a 4 wheelers bus-truck which took us to the terminal.
The security and passport control was easy and everyone were nice. Took my suitcases and went out to meed my wife, which I haven't seen for a month; The rejoining was incredible :-)
We went and got our nice rental car and drove to her parent place in West Virginia.
