In a few hours we will be taking an Uber to Mexico City International Airport for our flight to London Heathrow. The plane does not leave until 10 PM but we are supposed to be there three hours before the flight. This will be my first time flying on British Airways. We have "premium economy" seats, so although it will not be as luxurious as flying business or first class, at least we will have more leg room and wider seats. The flight is 10 hours 30 minutes long, and we arrive at Heathrow at 3:30 PM (London time) tomorrow. (That would be 8:30 AM Mexico City time.)
We have booked a hotel near the airport for two nights. The Premier Inn is a chain of clean and comfortable budget hotels that I have used previously. We have train tickets to go into central London the next day. We will walk around and look at some of the famous landmarks. We will then take a bus to Bournemouth on the coast of the English Channel. My cousin Kevin and his wife Sue live nearby. After spending three full days with them, we head back to Heathrow for a flight to Switzerland to visit my Swiss cousins.
It is going to be very hot, much hotter than Mexico City. During our stay in England the forecast calls for highs in the 80s F, but there is no rain predicted. Switzerland, surprisingly, is going to be even hotter, with highs in the 90s!
My next post will be from sultry England!
