After arriving at LHR we made our way to Windsor Castle where we met Amanda’s friend, Melissa and son George, with bags in hand. It wasn’t far from the airport so we decided to do it on the way into London rather than do a backtrack. We drug suitcases with us (ugh) over hill and dale. My bag seemed extremely heavy, but I thought I had just over packed (even tho I thought I was going with only essentials). The lady at the check baggage counter mentioned that the wheels were not functioning properly. When we got to the hotel, after much lugging and sore hands, I checked them and the wheel tread was worn and partially separating. That meant purchasing a new bag as there was no way I could use the that one for 4 weeks.
