Now comes the slog home. And it is looking sloggy. My flight to London has been delayed an hour. So I have an hour and a half before we even think of getting airborne. As long as it isn’t canceled. My flight to Edmonton isn’t until noon tomorrow so delays don’t worry me.
I should be slightly worried that I don’t have a place to stay tonight. I have two options on that front.
- Put my luggage into storage and wander the streets of Soho all night. Living the dream. Advantages: Bragging rights. Cheap. Disadvantages: No actual sleep until I’m on the plane.
- In Victoria station I can go to tourist information where they can recommend a hostel. Go to the hostel, use them as storage, and then go enjoy London. Advantages: More sleep. Disadvantages: Very little sleep.
It depends how I feel after the flight. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, so that may affect my decision. A big issue is that I need to go to the east end of London and collect stored luggage at my old hotel and take it to Heathrow on the far west end.
Hoping the luggage is under the weight limit.
