Got to the airport today with much difficulty since we were apparently brain dead and nick was apparently on the worlds fastest blue line and had volunteered to fo his good deed for the day so I had to rendezvous at a later stop because I was slow and didn't get there in time yo help the old lady off at rosemont... But we made it and stumbled yto the American airlines counter to check in--- but couldn't find the normal people check -in so checked in with the first class man.... Too bad where you check in does not magically change your seat assignments.
Arrived in London at about noon London time... Aka about 6 am London time after eight hours of being cramped into a very small ball( note to self: get high paying job soon so I can upgrade my flying arrangements to business or first class) stumbled through customs and perhaps one of the most unhelpful airports ever (no arrival board for the whole airport really???) waited for
My parents to get there then headed out for our first tube experience.
Oyster cards .... Check
maps of the underground .... Check
mind the gap... Check
made it to our hotel, met up with Emily, ate some kebabs( meat lettuce garlic mayo tomatoes all wrapped up in a pita) met emilys flat mates and tried to force leftovers on them, then headed out into the london rain once more to see some sights.
Big Ben .... Check
westminster .... Check
London eye.... Check
trafalger square.... Check
Piccadilly circus.... Check
stumbled back home for some much needed sleep.
Pictures soon as soon as I borrow my parents computer!
