London

To end our European vacation, we spent 4 days in London. We had another "Experience" with Northwest Airlines when we found out that our flight from Gatwick to Minneapolis was cancelled because of mechanical failure. Arrgh. However, the flight from Heathrow to Toronto on British Airways was quite pleasant, and so things could have ended up much worse (like they did on the way to Europe)!
