Day 54 - Back to London

We awoke and headed for another delicious breakfast. Then Scott headed to the beach with the girls and I finished packing. Luckily I called the rental car place and discovered that we had to return the car in town, not at the airport. I quickly called Scott and told him to get back sooner, which he did. We said our goodbyes to Liz and her dogs and headed to return the car. We had no problems getting to the airport. Then we flew back to London. We flew on an airline that is associated with British Air. It was not as nice but we got back to Gatwick and then got a cab back to our house.

Travel tidbit – there are a few discount airlines that fly between the major cities in the UK. And they advertise great rates – L39. But they are not that great and the prices they advertise are not including tax, which adds a LOT to the price. One of these airlines is EasyJet – known as Sleezy Jet as they nickel and dime you for everything. Ryan air is another one that is not looked favorably upon by many.

Since it was still early when we arrived home, Scott went for a bike ride while I got all the laundry started. It is way better to do laundry with the new machines. Then, Scott drove us to the Big Sainsbury for some groceries for the next 3 days since the refrigerator was pretty bare or moldy after 1 week.. I do think that Scott may actually have been to more grocery store trips this summer than the last 3 years.

We got the essentials (like food for dinner, milk, etc.) and headed home for dinner and bed.
