I got out of bed earlier than usual to say goodbye to Pop and Grandma. Sari was already up. Their car was coming at 7:30am. Our car was due at 11:30am but arrived a half hour early. We considered taking the tube to Heathrow, but decided to stick with the car. We arrived at Heathrow Terminal 5 at 11:50am. The driver asked if I was quoted a price, I said no. I should have said 40 pounds because that's how much pop said it was. He charged 56 pounds. I gave him 50 and change. He took it. Swindlers are tiring. The guy's a family man and a gardener according to his non-stop talking during the ride but he has no problem overcharging strangers in a car. We shopped and had lunch before getting on the plane.
