Day 1: October 25, 2012: We departed Houston, Texas this afternoon and arrived in London at Heathrow Airport the next morning (October 26, 2012) where we had a 3 hour lay over before boarding our plane to Istanbul Turkey. This wasn't bad, it was like walking around in the Houston Galleria. There was so many shops, stores and places to eat. We spent most of our time doing a lot of wines and whiskey sampling. Yes it was before 12 noon, but like the English said, "it's five o'clock someway". We had a great time there at the airport then off to board our flight to Istanbul.
