A Birthday Christmas Holiday: Day 9 – Returning Home – December 13, 2015

It was time to come home…

 …and St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church was bidding me a proper farewell.

As I may have mentioned at the beginning of the trip, I was able to use miles for a discounted Business First ticket to London…

…and a discounted World First ticket back.

So when I checked into the United Club at Heathrow Airport, I was told there was an even more elite club behind me…

…where I found a nice dining area with a full bar, snacks…

…hot bar…

…and desserts.

I got a little grub off the hot bar…

…and enjoyed a little cake.

It was only before leaving that I saw a menu I could have ordered from as well.

If only I had more time.

On the plane…

…my seat was very spacious…

…and I had to apply a shoulder strap for both take-off and landing.

The soup was delicious…

…the beef was not (overcooked)…

…but I was able to nab some sushi at Newark.

Later on, I would be picked up from Cleveland Hopkins by my wonderful wife and I would tell her about the fantastic trip I had in England and Iceland.

It was the perfect adventure before my 42nd birthday…which is tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed the read!
