January 7th - Last day of our adventure

Well today finishes up our trip, I'm writing from Newark airport waiting for our flight to Denver.  The last few days in London were fairly quiet, we did go to the Wallace collection twice and had a couple pub dinners but we were sort of winding down.  We had a little housekeeping, such as turning in our 'Oyster' cards for the London Transport and claiming deposit money for them as well as for hotel stuff that required deposits too.  I've had a bit of a head cold for a couple days and was quite concerned about comfort flying, but it turned out to be pretty much a non-issue.   The flight back to the U.S. was very nice as we had 1st class tickets and could really stretch out, plus it allows us to wait in the United Club (formerly Red Carpet) for the next flight.   We can see the skyline of NYC from the club and the Empire State Bldg. and the new World Trade Center are glowing in the evening light atractively. We loved sharing our trip with you all and hope that you got a certain amount of enjoyment out of it, I know we did.
