Today everyone’s worst nightmare picking someone up at an airport came true for me.

I had the day off and this morning I got up real early to pick up our friend from Denver, Tom, from London Heathrow aiport. I got there early, no problems with the subway. There was a huge mass of people there doing the same thing, it was a crazy morning. Anyway, I waited and waited – Tom never showed up!! Well, I was becoming extremely worried so I went to the information point who weren’t very helpful but after 30 minutes they did put a page out for him. I waited in the meeting area but still there was no sign of him. I went back to the information point, who was just as unhelpful and told me to go down to the United desk in check in. When I got to check in some hitler security person starting having a go at me saying that I shouldn’t be down there even though I was directed down there by his colleague.

Anyway, I decided to phone Tom’s cell on the off chance and he answered!! He was asleep in bed in Denver – he got the dates wrong….so, I had a wasted trip to the airport!! Well I was relieved that he was ok but kinda peed that I had a whole day off work for this.

Tom was organized to meet Lei, his Chinese partner, from the airport later that evening but now that he was a day late I had to pick him up. So I went back home to do some work then went out to the aiport again. Thankfully Lei turned up at the airport without any problem and I got him home via the Heathrow Express.

In the evening we took Lei out to Camden Lock where we just had a walk round, then had an early night. The photos shows Don and I on Camden Lock, what a cute one of us both, Lei took it.
