The photo shows some of our group aboard the plane on the first leg of the journey. Both flights (SF-Toronto, Toronto-London) went very smoothly. The only hitch involved carry-on baggage. There had been some discussion before we left about whether it was a good idea to check baggage or just to carry it on board. As it happened, there was no problem with any baggage checked, but just as we were boarding the plane in SF, the carry-on bags of Mrs. Maximov and Natasha were deemed too large and were taken away to be checked in. But these were not checked through to London, as the others had been, but only to Toronto. So after we got through Canadian customs and found our departure gate in Toronto, Mrs. Maximov and Natasha had to go back and retrieve their bags and check them through to London -- which required their going to another terminal, going through security yet again, and just general hassle for an hour or so. Fortunately, we had plenty of time between flights, and when we got to London 15 hours after leaving SF, everyone had their proper bags.
