We boarded the Airplane - DL 12 Boeing 767-400 (seats 33 F and G) at 4:45pm EDT. As we taxied on the runway, a local thunderstorm delayed us for 20 minutes. We started right up, delayed again on the runway for another thunderstorm. Yikes, the lightening! We took off an hour late.

We arrived in London's Gatwick airport at 7:20am local time and took transportation to our Hotel: The Radisson Edwardian Grafton for three nights.

We spent most of that first day touring the general sights..
That night we ate dinner in the Hotel at 7:00pm (1:00pm Pensacola time), took our time and retired to our room by 8:30pm. Exhausted.
