London, here we come!

Mitch and I are going to London for a week, leaving Mon, Oct. 19 and returning Tues, Oct. 27. This will be our first overseas trip since Mitch was diagnosed with MDS, and started the monthly treatment cycle of Vidasa shots. So, it's a great experiment to test his stamina with the transatlantic flight and long days.
Here is our flight information....after watching fares for a month or more, we gave up and booked frequent flier tickets on American.
American Airlines , flight 104, leaves JFK on MON 19OCT8:20 PM, arrives LONDON HEATHROW 8:25 AM
American Airlines , flight 131, leaves LONDON HEATHROW on TUE 27OCT3:35 PM
arrives NEW YORK JFK 7:45 PM

We'll be staying at the Winrose Hotel near Paddington Station. Accomodations in London are very expensive. The Winrose is inexpensive (c. $120 per night), has free wi-fi, and full fry-up for breakfast, and is well reviewed on Tripadvisor...that website that Mitch loves to hate.


Here is what our room should look like
