The End

Our Last long walk in London; our Last tube ride: did I mention I loved the tube? The Son took us to Victoria Station and put us on the Gatwick express amid many tears from Big Mama and went off to work. The ride to Gatwick was very comfortable and we had no trouble finding our place.

Every one of the security personnel was so courteous and kind. I got "patted down" and one of our pieces of luggage got opened and searched. The Dad thinks it was because of the pretty rocks we had in there. Our departure time was 1 hour earlier than we had expected; and our departure from Detroit was 1/2 hr. earlier and that was fine with us!

By 7:30 P.M. we were at the hotel in Louisville-I'm so thankful the Dad agreed to staying the night: we would have been much too exhausted to have driven all the way home. I have to say that I would be happy not to fly for the next 35 years but the desire to see my children will, I am sure, make me willing much sooner than that. I have already started a list of things I want to see the next time.

And now it is over and we have lovely memories. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I reminisce!!!
