Day Seventeen: Wednesday September 19

The end of the road.
Well, this is the final day of my vacation. I have to get up and check out of my hotel around 7am tomorrow so I can go through the ritual of Heathrow airport. Before I came on this vacation, someone told me that the very worst part of my vacation would be when I fly back to LA from Heathrow. In all honesty, I don't know why. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Today was just all about traveling. I left Edinburgh around 10:30am and arrived back in London at 3pm. I was able to find my hotel easily enough, close to Kings Cross Train Station.
King's Cross is where they film all the train scenes from the Harry Potter movies. They even have the imaginary platform (I don't remember what number that was) in the station. I walked around my neighborhood a bit, but it was just about closing time for most nearby attractions.
When I was in London a few weeks ago, I met a fellow traveler - Jon. I could write chapters & chapters about Jon, but only Trishia & I know that whole story for now. When I told Jon where I was staying, he referred to the area as "Hookerland." Well, my hotel in Hookerland is OK, and it's a nice night so I am sure all the hookers will be out in full force tonight.
I am going to post tomorrow, once I get home, and although I have quite gotten used to writing this blog over the past few weeks, I will probably only post once a week from now on. That is, of course, until I take my next trip when I will resume daily blogging. Wish me luck on my travels to and through Heathrow tomorrow, it sounds as if I may need it.

Good luck and I guess I'll catch you on the flip side.
