Good news: We woke up on time and made it to the Eurostar without any trouble.

Bad news: Part way through our trip to London, we got an email from EasyJet saying our flight to Inverness on Sunday was cancelled due to strikes. Inverness is over 8 hours by bus.

I caught a nap on the train and got some interesting marks on my arm from sleeping on Nova’s headphones.

Good news: I was feeling a little stressed about only spending two nights in London so now it looked like we would be staying in London longer and rebooking our EasyJet flight into Edinburgh instead. The original plan was 2 days in London, two in Inverness, two in Edinburgh then home. New plan 4 days in London and 2 in Edinburgh before heading home.

Early morning wake up caught up with Nova.

Bad news: Our hotel in Inverness wasn’t in the refund window and it looked like we would lose that $350.

Reminding tourists where to look before crossing the street!

Good news: Hotels.com called the hotel and they agreed to refund us 100%!

Bad news: I left my backpack on the bus in London! It didn’t have anything valuable in it but it did have all of my clothes.

No more “Sortie”, now we see “Way Out”.

Good news: I lost an entire afternoon chasing buses around town but I was able to recover it today.

Great news: We are at a Hilton for free the next three out of four nights because I used a credit card reward. Also we are gold members with Hilton Honors which means free drinks in the executive lounge whenever we want and free breakfast every morning. Now if we can just wake up in time for free breakfast without an alarm tomorrow…

The kids enjoyed the executive lounge.
