Jamo, a beer or two on the deck while I was grilling some pork chops last night helped.
It has been a few years since we visited Key West but I do like your idea. Right now I am too bummed out to even think about an alternative trip. At least I still have my new Nikon that I purchased in anticipation of going to London.
We missed the re-opening of Heathrow by less than a day. As it turns out we could have taken off as schduled since Heathrow was operating before our scheduled arrival. Of course that is easy to say now but the airlines could not get the OK in time to operate yesterday's flights.
I had booked our tickets on points so it is impossible to re-book now. I had the agent look at departures on any day of the week for either London or Paris and there was nothing available in business class until April 2011.
