Schleping logistics at Heathrow's Hilton
 

Geez, couldn't sleep this morning as it just occurred to me that when we stop over for a night at London's Heathrow Hilton next week en route to Nairobi, that we will have 4 bags to schlep.

Anybody know if we can take a luggage cart down on the long walk to the hotel, or hire a golf cart or something? Or, is there overnight storage at T4?

We will have our two wheeled Micato bags (no more than 33 lbs each of course!), but on the way there we will also have 2 bags that will be staying in Africa, not wheeled, and one weighs 35lbs. One is a bag full of gifts for Kennedy & his family, and our Micato safari director, Daniel and his family (who isour safari director again for this year). The other is the America Shares bag for the orphanage. (you guys should SEE the adorable yellow dress my son's girlfriend picked out yesterday for some cute little girl!)

We did go kind of overboard on buying gifts and for the orphanage on this trip....

You can take an airport luggage cart to the hotel.

Ditto....there is a long tunnel/passage way from the terminal to the hotel and you can drop the luggage trolley at the front of the Hilton.

Happy travels!!!

If made the long haul to the hotel with a free cart.

Hi Lynn,

Rgds,

typo.....dont know how that ugly smiley got there. Sorry!!!

that should read: Packing questions

Hari, I think it's the : followed by a p that caused the :p tongue pokey smiley! That one gets me all the time. And the 8 and ) giving 8) gets me a lot too!

Sigh, except for some reason 8) didn't do anything. Must be on some other site!

Thank you Hari and based on my questions that I emailed you that smile is rather appropriate.

Sandi's responses also helped.

Thanks, Kavey....yeah, that's probably what happened

Thanks everyone, I think I can sleep tonight now!

If you request it early and get on the list, the Hilton has a golf cart to take you and your bags back to the terminal in the AM. Good luck. It is a loooong walk.

8-) You can't forget the nose on Fodors! Other sites default it in.

See you Monday, Kavey!!!!

:-) :-) :-) :-)

Lynda, have a wonderful, wonderful time.

Lynda - I'll be right behind you - 17/days which can't get here soon enough. Happy travels.

Have a great trip, Lynda!
