I Made It

I'm finally in London. After 2hrs of driving, 1 hr of waiting, 7 hrs of flying, 0 hrs of sleeping, and another 1/2 hr of walking I'm at my flat. My flight left on time from Dulles and luckily enough, I had the entire row to myself. My plan was to fall asleep and wake up in the UK - didn't happen. The flight was EXTREMELY bumpy and it freaked me out (watched a little too much LOST). I tried to relax but then the plane would drop and leave my stomach on the ceiling so I contented myself with watching TV and movies. I think I've started to enjoy The Office now (after watching 3 episodes) and I got to see "Marley and Me" and "Happy Feet". We arrived 1hr early and since the airport wasn't expecting us for awhile, unloaded us in the middle of the runway and shuttled us to the airport. I met up with Hargadon like planned except for the fact that she and I came into different terminals. We decided to take the cheap route to the flats in addition to enjoying the scenery. (I wouldn't have it any other way). We took the Underground and then walked the 2+ miles to the flats asking for directions from a Optometrist, a UPS guy, a Taxi driver, and a woman who noticed that we looked out of place. (Makes sense considering we were both wheeling suitcases, looking a little gross, carrying backpacks, and both pointing in opposite directions for the same destination.) 30-40min later we're in the flats and utterly exhausted.
