After
a thirteen-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City, I arrived at London
Heathrow airport at 0730 Monday morning. My sister and her family
arrived at 0630 but in a different terminal so we didn’t see each other.After
clearing passport control and customs and then buying a British SIM
card for my phone, I took the Heathrow Express train to Paddington
Station in London.From
Paddington Station, I had to go to Marylebone Station where the trains
leave for High Wycombe where I was going to stay. It was only two
subway stops away so I walked and enjoyed seeing life in a British city.When
I got to High Wycombe, I walked to the home of Justin and Vichet Smith
who both worked at DDP in Phnom Penh—and liked each other and got
married. They move back to England when their first daughter was born
deaf because she could not attend an English school in Phnom Penh. Here
Vichet was fixing lunch for her second child, Charlie, and the younger
daughter Florence.After lunch we walked into town to meet Isabella (R) who was returning from a summer program for deaf children.
