Our trip from
JFK airport got off to a rousing start with the cancellation of our
Lufthansa flight due to the lack of a certified crew to fly the
plane. I just love it when the Germans screw up. Our
American tour leader, Sara, rose to the occasion, however, and a few
hours later we found ourselves on a Virgin Atlantic flight, winging our
way to London's Heathrow airport, and then to Athens via Olympic
Airways.
This photo is of our Virgin Atlantic aircraft. I think the Brits have a lot more style than the Germans when it comes to aircraft, although I found Heathrow airport a dingy and drab place. Our luggage arrived via Lufthansa three days later. No problem, though. I had the clothes on my back and a carry-on bag with toiletries, underwear, and a digital camera! Oh, and I heard there was an earthquake in Athens two days before I left. My motto for the trip? "Earthquake? What earthquake?" |
