Anyone ever been to Gander, New Foundland?
Well, I have.

The trip is off to an inauspicious start.
After taking a sleeping pill and trying to fall asleep in Continental's absurdly uncomfortable seats, I began to settle in. About 3 hours into the flight my dreams were disturbed by: "Is there a doctor on board?" over the PA.
Some time later I was woken again by: "Folks, this is your captain speaking. Please buckle up as we're going to be making an emergency evacuation of a sick passenger."
Apparently some woman thought she was having a heart attack and so they evacuated her in Gander. Can you imagine what sort of medical care they have there?
Anyway, I arrived in London 3 hours late. Sara was graciously waiting for me. We just grabbed a quick lunch and soon I'm off.
Due to the delay, I have already altered my schedule. I will be taking the Eurostar in an hour to Brussels... More later
