Heath and Frank

Currently in London’s Heathrow airport, chilling at the lounge, it is strangely empty, so used to the full lounge of Frankfurt.

Little note about me I had two computers, and was going to start a network in my place and decided to have a naming scheme after airports, so I had one named Heath(row) and the other Frank(furt). I enjoyed it.

So tired in a drained out sort of way. Traveling and worrying about catching the flight from Schipol got to me, and it was delayed a bit (more like an hour). If it wasn’t delayed I would have hopped a train to London and visit my old stomping grounds. I haven’t been here since 87/88 so would like to come back before it hits 20 years of being away.

Terminal 3 is one big strip mall everything is here, I wandered around a bit to get a feel for it, but found nothing entertaining and it is all packed together.So you see it all quickly. This is good for passengers with short wait times, but people like me I am ready to shoot myself in the head I have been here less an hour.

One thing that really excited me when landing was the Airbust A380. Today was it’s maiden flight and I saw it in the terminal when we were docking to our gate. The passengers in our plane were tilting to the lift side to get a glimpse of it. I was in awe.

A plane like that is something new, different and you hear so much about it seeing it there is impressive. Then whe I was moving from terminal 4 to 3 I passed by it and the landing crew were all over it on the ground, even people in chefs uniforms were looking at it. I can’t wait to fly on it. It will be an experience.

I am going to wander around a bit, the ticket counter should be opening soon so I can get my boarding pass and should do that as soon as possible.
