London in Royal Regalia

London in full Royal Regalia

Danielle and Alisha
After being awakened at 6:00 a.m. yesterday by a recording from United Airlines saying our London to South Africa flight had been cancelled, we didn't know what to expect.  Proceeding in good faith, however, we met our two World Service Corps volunteers, Danielle Landrum and Alisha Horikami, at the KC airport and boarded our plane for London.  Upon arrival, we stood in line for two hours at the Heathrow ticket desk and confirmed our flight had been cancelled but we were able to secure the last 4 seats on the following flight.  Whew!  Now ready to celebrate, we caught the tube into London and meandered through the crowds of people gathered for the Queen's Jubilation celebration.  The town is really decked out in full regalia.  We're now back at the airport waiting to board our flight to South Africa in about an hour.  Let's hope this is our first and only travel glitch.  Okay, okay, maybe it's not likely there will be no more hiccups in our travel but at least we can  hope!
