My phone welcomed me to the United Kingdom. My travel back to the United States required a layover in London. Heathrow airport is huge. It took about an hour to get to the gate for my flight back to the USA.
I flew British Airways.
Nice classic blue leather seats were in Coach class.

Unlike the other airports, they did not allow up to 70 ounces of travel size liquids for carry-on purposes. All your toiletries had to fit into this special sandwich bag with built-in handles. So I had to leave all my natural hair products behind in London. I had checked a bag, but my toiletry bag was too big to stuff into it. Neither did I know that check-in was so strict. The gate that I arrived in from Germany was so far from my departure gate in London that it required another full screening of my carry-on's from Germany.
Parts of the Heathrow airport hallways reminded me of an IKEA store. I felt that it winded visitors around the storefronts through a narrow walkway forcing you to shop as you walked to your next destination. I wished that I had more time there but officially, I tackled three countries in nine days. It felt like my little taste of retirement.
