Days 8 and 9

With our camera battery low, and two days of planes, buses, taxis and cheap hotels, we didn't really take any more pictures. Tuesday we flew from Inverness to Luton Airport, which is north of London. We had to take the bus from Drumnadrochit into Inverness, and then catch another to the Inverness airport. By the time we got into Luton, found the bus into town, took the subway to Heathrow Airport, and another bus to our hotel a few minutes from Heathrow, we were wiped and ready for bed before our long flight in the morning. The next morning (in our cheap hotel) we suffered through a substandard breakfast, hopped a taxi to Heathrow, and boarded our flight out of the UK.

It is always a nice feeling when you come back into America. I have to close by saying though, public transportation in America is worthless. I won't go into the whole story, but basically our cab driver had no idea what he was doing or where he was going, and it took us 40 minutes to go to our destination which was 5 minutes away.

After getting to our car, we made the 7 hour treck from Houston to Jackson. We had been up since about 7:00 am London time. We got into Jackson around 6:oo am London time, with little to no sleep in between. Needless to say, it was an exciting drive back. We made it, and are quite happy to be home!
