London Heathrow Intl. Arrivals
   at 10:17 on Sun 3rd April 2005
I've never blogged from an airport before. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to do so. I'm talking to you from London Heathrow's Terminal 1 International Arrivals hall. I'm awaiting Laura from flight BA282 from Los Angeles. It's due at 12:00 but was expected 6 minutes late last I looked. (I've sat in the most inconvienient point for looking at the arrivals screens.)

Also, there are no comfy chairs. I'm sat on the rock solid marble floor... I've been here for 10 minutes and already my bum is starting to hurt! :P

Getting here was nice... I was at the station before 9 and just wasn't awake. I got confused when he asked for £21 for the ticket, not realising I hadn't given him my Young Persons Railcard. And then I threw my credit card over the counter at him by accident. I apologised that I wasn't awake and that I would be soon. His reply made me smile all morning... "That's what worries me."

Then on the Virgin train, the guard asked me whether I knew the location of RailAir at the station (the coach from Reading to Heathrow) and he explained exactly where I needed to go.

Everyones been so cheerful and helpful today. It's wonderful. Oh, and to top it off I just bought a meal deal lunch (just like Boots do them) for £2.69. For an international airport in the UK I think that's quite an achievement!
