Down and Out in Paris and London

[Nothing But Net]

Thanks for the comments, all.

Bruce, flew Business First only on the way back, but that's when I needed it most. The best meal of the trip was on that airplane. (And no, I didn't pay for the seat, in fact my flight was paid for with One-Pass miles, they just bumped me up on the return.)
grazzers, the security alert in Edinburgh was on the 8th, the day after the London bombings. We were on the open top a a tour bus when it deviated off Prince's St., and the guide comes up and tells us all to evacuate. I'm not sure if he meant our bowels or the bus. Police, Fire, Ambulance, sirens from all sides converging in sight down the street. Someone had left a package on the previous bus, which was then detonated via "controlled explosion". That bomb left Spaghettios all over those walls. It was all very exciting.
