No, not The Tube, London's subway system for which you always have to Mind The Gap.
To migrate from the Star Alliance Arrivals Lounge to the LHR Hilton, we first took the Heathrow Express, which offers a free ride to Terminal 4.
Once there, we took a lift up to the departure level and found the adjacent entrance to the Hilton's tube, a covered walkway that leads to the hotel.
We then went tubing.
And we kept on tubing, meeting nobody along the way but a solitary employee somewhere near the middle mopping the floor - that must be a full-time job.
Finally we emerged from the tube - about six minutes later as the sign at the entrance touted - to the great outdoors and a quick breath of fresh air before entering the hotel.
Our room is on the top floor, and the gangway-like open corridors from the lifts to the room hallways on each side offer a good view of the main floor in both directions.
We'll visit the Executive Lounge on the ground floor later, but now it's nap time.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
