After another easy flight over on Virgin Atlantic, I cleared Immigration using the IRIS scanning system in all of 30 seconds. Then I walked to the Heathrow Express, used a digital ticket that was pre-paid for before I left the States (all I needed was the number) and then jumped on the Internet using T-Mobile’s Hotspot on the Express.
Whilst on the train I checked email, replied to few on the Mac Book Air, pulled out the new Asus 1008 HA Netbook, installed the 3 Connect software for my USB data card, updated the software, then got to Paddington Station. Once there I walked to a waiting cab, called the west coast, using Truphone Anywhere on my Nokia E71, letting my wife know I was in London safe and sound.
Once in my hotel, I then made the room totally wireless, using my Asus travel router, charged up my SKypePhone 2 (which now no longer needs topping up as often or even activating a data plan to make Skype calls.)
Oh, and yes, I made my lunch and dinner reservations on line. Used the Getting Around London feature to figure out where to take the Tube to get somewhere vs. a cab, and even found time for a coffee. (Sorry, no photo)
