Baggage!

I arrived safely in London yesterday. The flight from Ottawa was fast, the flight had to leave 1/2hr late so that we would not arrive before Heathrow was open! It was actually clear when we flew in over London and I had great views of the Thames snaking through London, Tony Blair's legacy; the London Eye and Millennium Dome, London Bridge & Tower of London and many other famous landmarks, I could even pick out Buckingham Palace and The Albert Hall.

I had been worrying I am carrying too much stuff on this trip. Normally we like to travel with just a day pack but since we are planning to camp a lot so we are lugging a bunch of camping stuff around too. But now I've changed my mind though...............while I was waiting outside the terminal for my parents to pick me up a van and a car pulled up and a guy starting unloading suitcase after suitcase. I thought it must be the luggage for a whole hockey team or soccer team or something, there must have been 40 cases stacked up on the 3 porter's trolleys. Turns out it was just a family of 4 (I suspect diplomats). So now with my one rucksack I feel like I'm travelling super light!
