As the day wore on, I found myself more fatigued, nauseous, and frequently sneezing and blowing my clogged nose. You know what that means…a common cold.

I checked-in and was able to change to a bulkhead seat from row 2 seat. At least something is going for me today!

I boarded and settled into my sleeper seat. After take-off, I decided to stop faking and give into my illness. I changed into the sleeper suit, piled myself under blankets, and donned by noise-reducing headphones. The flight attendant was more than accommodating, and she kept a constant stream of tea and water coming to me.

Unfortunately, due to my nausea, the last thing I wanted to think about was food, so I can’t give you any information on the meal.

I laid there for the next 13 hours, dozing on and off. Somehow, the flight seemed to pass.

We arrived into Heathrow and I trudged on the Heathrow Express.

My company has a couple of apartments at the Grosvenor House. A simple call to corporate travel and they are all mine. As great as this hotel is, I must admit, it is not my favorite hotel in London.

I relaxed for the rest of the day, pushed through my meetings the next day, and then my girlfriend arrived . We sight-saw (?) the next day in the rain, then I succomed officially to illness and slept.

Finally feeling much better, I saw my girlfriend off yesterday morning, then I hung out in the city unless my departure that night.

London is my favorite city in the world, but I was sad that I was sick while I was there. Oh, well, next time…

Coming up is LGW-EZE, then my return home (the latter has yet to occur).
