We made it

here, ok, after an almost 24 hour travelling ordeal which
included:

a "flight" from my parent's home to the airport (i dont think the taxi was
travelling at less than 150kph (kilomethairs per hour) at any point and I was seriously
expecting an airhostess to come in and pop the famous question - "beef
or chicken?"

Spending 4 hours at the Heathrow first class lounge drinking and eating all we
could.

BA loosing my suitcase and giving me $50 for my troubles.

BA delivering the suitcase the next day with a broken lock!
