To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Up, Up and Away
We're off.
British Immigration Services employees have announced they will be striking on the day we arrive. I may spend the entire vacation in a queue at Heathrow.
They were on strike the day we arrived for our last trip - seems to be something they do often. But whoever was there doing the job was friendly, handing out candy and little hand held battery operated fans (it was the end of June and very hot in that part of the terminal) and trying to make it as easy as possible for everyone. Hope you have a similar experience :).
