Sitting in Heathrow Airport waiting for my gate to be assigned

I got to Boston Logan Airport by 3pm ET.  I made it through the security check no problems. The escalator to get to the plane was broken.  I actually had to use assistance.  I have never done this in 13 years, but to walk down stairs with my computer bag and carry on bag would have been impossible.  The plane was boarded and we sat.  And we sat some more.  Something with the luggage.  

The best part of the plane was there was no one sitting in the middle seat.  There were a group of teenage girls from around the country going to Spain for 5 months.  One girl was from Omaha, Nebraska.  They were so excited.  They were very nice young women.

I was talking to a man while waiting to board the plane.  He told me that the wine and spirits were free.  So I got white wine.  Dinner was chicken curry, salad, roll and dessert.  It was very good.  

I was able to watch 3 movies during the flight from Boston to London.  I watched Despicle Me 2, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 and Planes.  I had extra leg room which helped.

Now the items I forgot at home...
 1. Shampoo and conditioner - I can't believe I forgot this stuff.
 2. Pretzel made today to bring on the plane.  I called Manny and told him.
 3. Sunglasses

My flight to Mumbai leaves at 10am London Time.  I am sitting by customs.  There was a man who fainted has he was walking.  He was more embarassed than anything else.

I am tired, but very excited.  I took my first Malaria pill.  Now everyday for dinner I will take a pill.

More to write about tomorrow when I am in Mumbai.
