Greetings from Dulles Airport! Our day started quite early this morning since we had to be on our plane at Heathrow Airport by 6:30! Luckily last night was a very relaxing and early evening in London so the 4:30 wake up wasn’t too painful.
I landed at Heathrow at 6:30 and was home by 7:15! The Heathrow Express isn’t cheap but on nights like this it makes a world of difference. Bo and I cooked an easy dinner together before toasting the holiday vacation with some champagne.
Dinner was baked chicken thighs, homemade Greek inspired brussels sprout salad, couscous and a small green salad. It was so nice to enjoy dinner together on a Thursday night! So far our travel day has been almost too good to be true. We flew United from London Heathrow to Dulles Airport and though the flight was 1.5 hours longer than normal due to weather in the North Atlantic, Homeland Season 3 kept us occupied the entire flight. Season 3 is definitely my favorite season thus far! As we flew over northern Newfoundland we were able to see the glaciers and icebergs even though we were over 30,000 feet high! Check out the formations!
We have three hours until our flight takes off for Savannah, plenty of time to grab lunch and relax. I’m so relieved our flight from London to Washington, DC didn’t have any issues. It’s one thing to rent a car and drive from DC if there are issues but that isn’t exactly possible from Europe.

Hi Ashley,
Did your laptop battery last the entire 6+ hour flight? Or was there a power outlet at your seat on the plane? Or do you have a back-up battery? My productivity (or laptop entertainment) is always cut short on flights longer than 3 hours because my laptop battery dies. So I’m curious how you were able to enjoy “Homeland” the entire transatlantic flight.
Thanks,
Katie
