After a long trip we are descending to London heathrow. We were significantly delayed at departure, but made great time in the air, covering the distance in 6 hours. Dinner was smoked salmon with mixed green salad and fresh tomatoes, followed by mediocre beef with decent scalloped potatoes. I didn't stay up for the cheese course or dessert, as sleep seemed more important. The lay flat beds are not quite as nice as Air New Zealand but they still do the trick, with a nice pillow and blanket. The crew was very friendly and helpful, all around a 4 star flight.
Now let the adventure begin (maybe with a short nap when I find my hotel!)
