Getting There

Greetings from London! Sorry it has taken me so long to post. I started to blog in the airport on the way, but my layovers were very short. (Thankfully) So for those of you who don't know I left on Thursday afternoon. My wonderful family plus Rachel came out to have breakfast with me before I had to be at the airport. Here's me, Andrew and my niece Tabby.

It was certainly a crazy morning. Being stuck in traffic, going to the wrong gate, and loosing our parking stubs. But some how I made it to my flight on time and Andrew made it out of the airport parking lot. After a four hour flight to Boston I only had about a half hour lay-over before I was back on a plane. This time it was an over night flight for six hours bringing my grand total hours in a plane to 11. I arrived at London Heathrow at 6:20 AM. And I wasn't meeting my group until 10:30. I should also mention I got absolutely no sleep whatsoever. But eventually I found my group and we were off in a van heading to the hotel.

Then we had some food, a breif orientation, a super long bus tour through london and it was off to bed. It was a crazy first day, and to be honest I'm still not quite adjusted. The jet lag has not been fun, but my trip certainly has been so far! (Despite the unusually hot weather. It's worse than Texas!) I promise to post more soon, but for now I need some sleep! Expect to hear about my travels to Greenwhich, Windsor and Eton. Also I will bring a comprehensive list of the neat "Britishisms" I have learned or observed so far.

Everyone have a wonderful day!
