As is perhaps typical of us and holidays, the checkin staff are striking at Heathrow over something or other. Lots of people stuck at Heathrow for hours and hours while waiting to see if they could check in, etc. Grr. Called the airline today and they seem fairly certain that everything will be ok on Wednesday, but it does make one a bit edgy. At least the likelihood of terrorist attacks is fairly slim. Of course, I would have said that last time we were going to the US & see how wrong I'd have been!
