Back in Dallas

I'm back in Dallas now and I'm fine mom. I missed my 7:25am flight in Nice because the ticketing counter in Nice for Swiss Air insisted they couldn't issue my ticket again since it was originally for a BA/AA ticket, which AA said they could. So I instead went to the BA counter and found out that the BA flights to Gatwick were full so I'd have to go on standby. After about 10 minutes of typing at his console, the associate was able to confirm a seat for me on the 10:35am to Gatwick. I was also confirmed on the flight from Gatwick to Dallas. So I spent a couple hours in Gatwick poking around. I had lunch at this crazy automated Sushi bar called Yo!Sushi. Each of the plates on a conveyor belt are color coded to their price. One of unqiue dishes they had was a roll called "Spicy Chicken Katsu" and can be found on the menu. On the flight back, I sat next to a really old lady from LA who thought I had a New England accent. I don't know what to make of that.
