    I have about another 5 hours of travel ahead. So breakfast first.

    Morning world. Landed in Heathrow an hour ahead of schedule (which of course means there's no stand for us yet). Breakfast before I tackle the trains home.

    Ok, travel thread begins. Although likely to be short as transfer times are not long! Plane 1 is boarding. First flight is about 90mins. Then 90mins in Atlanta. (Better than the 7 hours on the way out)

    Daytona beach airport has 6 gates and 1 eatery. Myself and fellow student got here 3 hours in advance...maybe a little excessive (checkout time at hotel and nowhere to hang around there)
