The Experience

“You just let me know if you want the radio off or on — some folks like quiet after a long flight,” our driver, Samir, said as he loaded my suitcase into the back. I’d landed at Heathrow barely thirty minutes before, still blinking away that dry airplane feeling. The arrivals hall was buzzing — families reuniting, someone’s perfume hanging in the air. Samir had a small sign with my name (which he pronounced better than most), and it felt oddly reassuring after an overnight flight from Toronto.

The drive out of London started slow — traffic, of course — but honestly I didn’t mind. It gave me time to settle in, watch the city slip past the window while Samir checked the route on his phone (“M25 looks clear today, lucky!”). He mentioned they track flights so even if you’re delayed, they’ll adjust pickup — which made me relax a bit about those customs lines. The car was spotless and cool inside; I could still smell the faint lemony cleaner on the seats. At one point I tried to nap but ended up just watching rain streak sideways across the glass instead.

Somewhere past Basingstoke, Samir pointed out an old pub he used to stop at during his early days driving transfers from Heathrow to Southampton Cruise Port. “Best chips in Hampshire,” he claimed. We laughed when I tried to repeat the name (“The Jolly Farmer” is harder than it sounds with jetlag). It’s funny what sticks with you — that little moment of normal conversation more than anything else on the road. By the time we pulled up at Southampton Cruise Port, I felt less like a number and more like someone being looked after. That’s not always how travel days go.
