Upon landing in London Heathrow our aircraft taxied to a remote gate (one without a jetway). Because we would be deplaning onto the taxiway my dad was able to take the picture to the right. In the background of this photo is a PW4090 engine rated at 90,000 lbs of thrust. After this photo was taken we proceeded to get on a bus to take us to the main terminal.
Due to all of the US bound arrivals into LHR we faced quite a substantial line once we reached immigration. After looking around we found the shortest line and we were quickly through despite us thinking it would be a while.
Once on the other side of security we faced a dilemma. We needed to be in Paris and not in London, so my dad and I pulled out our computers and began searching for ways to get to Paris. After looking at flights, we determined that it would be too expensive so we went looking for EuroTrain tickets which would take us through the Chunnel.
Once we were on the train I blacked out due to the exhaustion of crossing time zones. I'll pick back up this weekend when we arrive in Paris.

I find the idea of traveling very exciting. I like to travel but rarely get the chance. I don't have much knowledge about airplanes, but that sounds like it is powerful. Finding a way to Paris shouldn't be so difficult considering people there probably travel to Paris from London all the time. I wish you would have explained London more so that the readers could picture the landscape and culture of the city. And by the way Commercial is spelled wrong.
ReplyDeleteI would have explained London more had I actually gone into the city... My dad and I never left the airport, we took the train directly from the airport. I do however hope to go back to London to fully experience it.
