Going Home

Early tomorrow morning I'm flying home (via London). I've only got a two hour layover at Heathrow, and am dubious that I can make that connection. The planes always get delayed as they wait for gates to open up (40 minutes is typical) and it takes an hour to get from one terminal to the next... One of the many reasons why Heathrow is my least favorite airport. It's dingy, it's badly designed, and when I'm rushing for a plane I'm in no mood to hurdle over a crowd of shoppers in the mall everyone is forced through. But the people are invariably friendly, and my dislike of Heathrow is tempered by the fact that I'll be home for Christmas.

This latest gig in Pakistan was a bit rough. There were a few minor security issues, which didn't turn into anything serious but were stressful nonetheless.
