I am back in St Andrews
The flight left another hour after they said it would (already a 5 hour delay because of snow in London) because of slowness of LAX with baggage checking under increased security. Flight itself was good--watched Julie & Julia and slept for ages...then got to Heathrow. Oh boy. Flight to Edinburgh cancelled, they said 'go get your bag and we'll put you on a coach'--yes, drive up through the ice and snow! Waited for 4 hours for my bag, which is still in Heathrow somewhere, then ran when they said 'final call for coaches to Edinburgh!' The coach drove through the night, leaving at midnight, for 9 hours. Then, we turned off one exit before the actual airport exit accidentaly and got stuck in a snow drift. Joy! Dunno what the others ended up doing, may still be there, but I hiked in to the airport (through the morning mist and snow...nice sunrise, though!) and got a bus into central Edinburgh. Spent the afternoon at Zoe's, then got the bus back to St Andrews--at the bus transfer, realised that I couldn't find the ticket anywhere. The guy let me on anyways, since he'd seen me get off of the first bus.
So, everything that could go wrong did? Yep! But I live.

Well, ONE thing went well, which is that the driver let you on the bus without paying a second time! And it sounds like Bigfoot left you alone, so it was harrowing but not terminal.
