Logistics of travel to UK at this time

It is good news that one does not have to have a SARS-CoV-2 virus test before departure. Also that one does not have to quarantine unless a test done 2 days after arrival is positive. However there is a form that has to be filled in which requires one to report where one is going to be staying, a phone contact number, flight and seat number in coming flight and a record of having booked a day two virus test. Very time consuming. More time consuming when the on line form will not accept the Canadian post code. The booking of the test at a cost of 69 GBP needs another form giving many of the same details. It is all done and now as I wait at Montreal airport there is time to update the Blog. Another Logistical issue is that it is much more economic to get a SIM card for ones phone while in the UK. This means another phone number but one does not know the number to fill in on the forms. I just put in the number of my sisters cell phone as I will be letting her know how to contact me while in the UK before I get to see her on day five. Nowadays with all ones electronic devices - IPod, Ipad, IPhone, Apple watch that one travels with - one has to have all the different connections and adaptors for the UK plugs. Fortunately having spent time with family I have been able to get many answers to questions involving electronic devices answered. It is now three hours till check in and six hours to take off time. I shall listen to music and audiobooks on my old IPod!
