So other than a 45 minute delay, my Continental flight was pretty uneventful. Flying business class is good, you get to use the club lounge before the flight and they let you board first. Then they wine and dine you till its time to get your 3 hrs of sleep. Not a bad deal. Immigration and customs are a breeze at Gatwick so I call Stuart (my driver for the Gatwick to Heathrow journey) to let him know I'm getting my luggage. Things are looking up! Then I wait 30 minutes for my luggage...so much for that "Business First" priority tag on my suitcase. Stuart is patiently waiting for me, and I ask him to wait for me so I can get some cash to pay him...the nearest 2 ATMs are down for service...I finally find a working ATM and we head off for Heathrow. Things are going well, traffic is light until we hit a slow down on the M25. We crawl for miles and miles. I didn't keep track of how long we were in traffic...but it was way too long. Luckily, I have a 5 hr layover....
