True and we will gauge our energy level before selecting our route.  I do feel that the tips in this thread has given me several options.

If you decide to use the Heathrow Express, the cost is as low as £5.50 if you purchase the ticket 90 days in advance.  It's about £25.00 if purchased at the last minute.

Wow! Good to know.  Thanks!!

You are welcome.  I have used the Heathrow Express a few times in both directions, and I like it.  It's easy to find at the airport by following the signs.  It runs frequently.  It has enough space for luggage.  It's faster than a cab in traffic, and it doesn't have intermediate stops like the Tube routes.   For me traveling solo, even a last-minute ticket is cheaper than a cab for the same distance.  

 

I used the Tube every day on a vacation in London last summer.   It was fast and easy for getting around for my sightseeing, but I probably wouldn't use it with luggage - though many do, and you have gotten suggestions here on how best to do that.   

 

Have a great trip!
