After a couple of days in London it was time to go. After a reception and dinner on Wednesday night, where we met all the other travelers, the deal was to get everything packed up and ready to go. Two alarms were set for 5:30am and off to sleep. I woke up at 6:15 - OMG! How can two alarms not go off? It's still a mystery but we made the bus by 7am and off we went to Luton Airport. Carol needs tea in the morning, a lot of tea. So, she gets a big cup to go. No sooner were we on the bus than it got spilled all over her. More panic. We had already concluded this was not a good start. Despite all that, the plane left on time for a 7+ hour flight to Muscat, Oman.
