ok guys, i'm back, and as promised here are my pictures...there is a caption on every photo to tell the story.

the background is, my new wife has a new job where she needs to be in London a few weeks every month, and so i went to visit her to break the monotony of being away.  I got a great deal on a US airways flight from CLE to LGW for just about $630, which included a couple of seat choice fees.

here are the pictures

the part i didn't have photos of was the hour long customs line at CLT...very annoying, as the system didn't seem to be all that organized, there were just 2 long lines, one for citizens and one for visitors, and someone at the end of each line telling people which booth to go to...one would think that they would keep some officers devoted to visitors and some devoted to citizens so they could keep procedures straight, but no, they mixed everyone up together and it took forever.

please give some feedback if you have the time.

So true, Chuck. What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic!  The bad part about traveling to see your love is leaving your love behind because you have to return home.  When we travel to Honduras, we fly down together, but my fianc
