Here we come Heathrow

Recently, the hubs (who I only ever refer to as the hubs in this blog, never in real life) and I traveled to England and Belgium.  Considering how long it takes me to blog about an entire trip, I'm figuring if I start today, I might be done by the 4th of July.  So here we go, we headed out on a Friday night.  He doesn't work too far from the airport so I met him there (I took a very full bus down).  We checked in, made it through security fairly quickly and then got some overpriced food.  What is the deal with airport food?  I've yet to find airport food that I can afford that actually tastes great.  We knew the plane was serving food (don't get me started on airplane food, actually it wasn't terrible) so we just split chicken tenders and he had a clam chowder.  I mean come on, overcooked chicken tenders?  Really people?  And the chowder wasn't so great either.  Thankfully, we were hours early for our flight since the service was slow.    Then we played on our phones, read, (found out one of our friends was proposing the next day), etc.  Soon boarded the plane and after dinner, which was okay, it was a pasta dish, salad, a roll, and some type of mousse pudding dessert thing that was surprisingly good-- I tried to watch a movie--"Downsizing," it was good, but I was so tired I eventually gave up and tried to sleep.  Tried is the key word because according to my Fitbit (and the way I felt the next day) I did not sleep.  I dozed a few times for a few minutes, but that was it.  Eventually, gave up on sleep attempts, read a bit and then we finally landed in England to find it was actually hot.  Amazing for April.  There was complimentary bottled water in the customs line! That line was an hour long!  The good thing about that is by the time you make it to luggage your luggage is actually there so you don't have to wait ages for it like at home.  And I'll leave it at that and pick up with day two next time.  Day two is a bit boring as it mostly invovled sitting in a train station and riding a train, but days 3 onward are more exciting and may even contain some fun pictures.  :-)
