My journey home.....

....was very unimpressive. Firstly the flight was 45 minutes late leaving Vancouver. Then we got pretty much zero service during the flight from the staff, the veggie meal was disgusting and the landing was terrible!!

But that was nothing compared to the 2 hour wait to get our bags. We were standing around waiting and waiting and the worst thing is that nobody from BA said anything to us. So, after about an hour and everybody complaining, somebody came over the PA and said that there were "issues with BA and it will be another 40 minutes". Finally, almost 2 hours later, some bags started coming out but of course neither of mine were there.

Half of the flight got their bags while the rest of us were standing around hoping that more bags would show up. Another 20 minutes later and the rest of the bags came out. Great, I'm on my way home. Ummmm....not yet.

I get down to the tube (I'd topped up my oyster before leaving) and am just about to get on the Piccadilly line when there's an announcement saying that it's been suspended at Hammersmith so we can all get on the Heathrow Express instead. That'd be great but it means that I have to get the train from Heathrow to Paddington, then get the circle line (tube) to Liverpool Street and then get the train to Stoke Newington. And the best part is that when I get off at Stokey, (I've got a massive carry-on, a ridiculously large suitcase as well as a regular size suitcase) there's a good 3 flights of stairs to go up. Yay!

Finally made it home, 4.5 hours after landing. Am sooooo tired but have to stay up til 10pm in order to get a jump start on getting over the jetlag. zzzzzzz
