Woke at 5 AM and went for “take away” at the “The Coffee Lounge”. Took The Tube from Canon S to Hammersmith where we took Piccadilly to Heathrow Terminal 5. Checked in for flight from London to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. I had to go through security screening twice but Carol only once. Watched several movies on the flight including Battleship with Liam Nielsen, MIB 3 with Will Smith, Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp. Carol watched Fantastic Mr. Fox. Stewards only offered one meal. I only needed one bathroom break but Carol didn't need any! 😲 Arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth with 2-hour layover. Took 1 ½ hours to go through passport check. We then had to get our checked bag and re-check it in and go through security again! Thankfully we made it to the plane with about 5 minutes to spare. Flight to Portland, Oregon was uneventful. Arrived at PDX at about 7:30 pm. It was a relief to find our checked bag waiting for us at baggage claim. We arranged a shuttle bus with Blue Star and were able to use an old ticket from 2003! Made it home by about 9 pm. Hobie was super happy to see us as were we to see him!!
