All packed. We’re each checking a bag and carrying on a backpack.

Awaiting take-off today at 6:20 PM. Look for Marilyn, row 37, got our seat assignments when we checked in. We’re flying economy class, so no point in paying $35 per person each way to pick seats early. Our research pointed out that all seats in economy are crap so why pay extra! This time, our strategy worked-we get to sit together on the 8.5 hour flight.

Gotta run. To be continued from London.
