Well by the time we landed in London, it was already the 19th.. It was 7:45 AM and our flight was 9:10 AM. We landed way outside of Terminal 5, they loaded us onto buses and drove us over to the main terminal. It took a bit and again David was getting a little antsy. Plus he did not sleep much on the flight, so he was just a little off.
When we finally got to the main terminal, we went through immigration and I breezed right thru, David was stopped and questioned. Not sure why they stopped him, but they did, so I had to wait on him, and the border patrol people keep looking at me because I was standing around waiting..
After all of that, we had to go back through security, now was my turn to be singled out, David was a breeze, but I had to have a very public rub down and feel up. A woman came up to me in line and told me that I needed to be checked, ok I said.. She just started rubbing all over me, grabbed my girls, and checked my bra cups, then she said, I have to check your waist band, ok I said, so she literally put her hands in my paints and rub around my body. I was put off by all this but what could I really do.
David is now waiting for me. We finally make it to the section where our bags are x-rayed
So in goes my camera, lenses, and iPad, David has the scanner, and the laptop. We walk thru, and there are no bags
We wait, and wait, here comes, Davids bag, but mine is nowhere. They have to go looking for it, it has become stuck inside the xray
Ughhhh could anything else happen, now David is ready to blow, I think it is about 40 minutes to the flight about this time. Next we find the departures board, and we see a sign that says if you are going to terminal A it is 15 minutes to your gate, B is 30-45 minutes and C is 45 -60 minutes to your gate, this has David squirming. Our flight has not posted
..
About 10 minutes later it posts and the gate is right in front of us, like maybe 10 feet to the gate, we are now on an Iberia flight.
I have come to learn that Iberia is the Southwest of Spain except worse
. They even charge you for water.
But we are on our way to Madrid!
The rest was gross... Maybe if I had not already eaten I would have liked it more, but it was reheated mac , and David's rice in the curry was hard and dry...
