All of our luggage made it!

An interesting tidbit: We left Charlotte at 7:00pm, flew for 7 hours, and arrived at London’s Heathrow airport at 7:00am.

It took a while to get through passport control, but when we did our luggage was waiting for us. It is hard to believe, but all of our luggage arrived with our flight. This is very unusual for us, and it made Bob very happy.

Radisson Edwardian Hotel

Outside luggage pick-up, we met our driver, Ibrahim(?) –a Turkish Kurd, who delivered us to the Radisson hotel.

The hotel is nice although the rooms are weirdly arranged and will take some getting used to.  

After lunch with some of the group, Linda and I walked down the street to Harrod’s, which we must admit is quite impressive. 

We had our group introduction meeting and dinner, and then finally got to bed after a very long day.
