This is the second time I've flown British Airways. The first was a good experience. The second was a little bit more challenging. It started in the Orlando airport, right when my brother dropped me off. I was going to be charged right off the bat for having too many bags. Usually my Ukulele and backpack count as one since I fit one inside the other, but the representative didn't see it that way, so I had to stuff my already stuffed check-in. Thankfully, it was just under the $60 over-the-limit fee.
The flight was pretty smooth and a little fuller than the last. With long flights like these, the planes usually have interactive screens allowing you to choose different kinds of entertainment for free. Half way through the flight though, my screen froze as well as my reading light. I guess that was a hint for me to sleep!
I arrived at the Gatwick airport near London at 7:30 in the morning. My flight to Venice wouldn't depart until 3. More resting time.
That's not me sleeping at the bottom of this picture. I slept across from that guy.
It didn't take long for me to find the local variety of chocolate. and it was only 1 pound! (I have no idea what that is in dollars).
A missionary couple, Frank and Suzie, picked me up from the airport. It was neat talking with them about their journey. They spent years teaching and planting churches in Poland but recently felt the calling to serve in Italy.
Here's the guys dorm (middle floor). The place I'll be staying at for a while. For how long? We'll see.
