Getting up nice and early to get the train and tube to Heathrow, to fly cattle class to Vegas via Houston, as my previous flight on the same day via Denver was cancelled yesterday as its timing would have seen it pass over some of the funeral events.
Why train and tube? Because most of the roads around Heathrow will have diversions because of the moving of the coffin to Windsor (not to mention likely heavy traffic caused by people going to Windsor).
Why early? Because everyone going to London.
All in all will add about 4 hours to the travel so that I can do two days of a convention and come home cattle class via Denver on Thursday night.
All booked ages ago and quite lucky to still be going I suppose but a day lounging around, nibbling and having an odd beer and trying to ignore the dog has gone out of the window.
