We have arrived!  Just returned to our hotel for the evening after dinner at The West Gate, a pub here in Bath.  Jim decided to try a pint of spiked cider along with his fish and chips.

Yesterday's trip to airport went smoothly and security was a breeze - not the long lines we were expecting.  However, when we boarded the plane Jim suddenly realized he did not pick up his laptop!  Oops!  And, of course, once on the plane they will not let you off!  The flight attendants were able to get TSA's number for lost and found and today we confirmed they do have the laptop. Not sure if it's feasible to get it to where we are, so the blog may not be an everyday thing - will depend on whether the hotels where we stay have a computer for guest use.

We arrived at Heathrow on time (shortly before 7 am), cleared customs, etc, collected our baggage, then our rental car and were on the road to Bath by 9:30.  It's been rainy, foggy and little cool all day. But, we knew that's probably the way it would be. After we landed at our hotel we crashed for about two hours and then walked downtown to get our bearings of the city. Most shops close up at 5 so we'll hit those tomorrow along with a walking tour of Bath and then the Roman Baths and other sites.  We're hoping for an abbey tour and maybe even take in Evensong.

Attached are a few pictures we took in our drizzly weather this evening. As long as we are in Bath we will be posting.  Then we'll take it from there.
