I’m not afraid!
Breaking news from London seems to indicate there were another 3 or 4 attempted attacks today but thankfully from the sound of it their explosives guy was more than a little inept and there are only a few injuries reported at this time, lets hope there are no casualties and no serious injuries tyhis time and also that they catch the people responsible! My thoughts are with the people of London and actually within 24 hours I will be in London myself!
I have an overnight stopover in London on my way back to Sydney (yes I know London isn’t exactly on the way to Sydney from Houston but my company insists on buying round the world tickets for us so we get stuck witha rediculous amount of flying to get home) so I’ll be flying into London (Gatwick) about 10:30am tomorrow, this time however I’m not staying downtown but at a hotel near Heathrow as last time I was almost late for my flight getting to Heathrow for my flight out even though I caught the Hathrow Express. I then fly out the day after about lunch time, first heading to Singapore, then to Perth and finally to Sydney, all up it is about thirty something hours in the air!
If I hadn’t have already arranged to stay out near Heathrow then I would proudly walk around London and catch the subway again, I am not afraid and refuse to give the terrorists the satisfaction of allowing their actions to effect me. Haven’t they got it yet? The more terror acts they commit the more we will be committed in the “War against Terror” (although personally I dislike how that term is used by W., it is so sad how making war has become the mantra of US Presidents!).
