I'm finally here! After a long and rough flight (especially when we we're over the atlantic near Canada) I am now in my room at our beautiful hotel (the Lanesborough). The plane was super cool and our food on the flight over was delish - I started with grilled prawns in a salad, then I had the lamb shank shepherd's pie followed by a slice of honey almond cheesecake.That was my favorite part--honey should be involved in every desert, its delicious.
Our flight landed around 7:00 am and we made it to the hotel around 10:00. I had ideas of everything I wanted to do today seeing as to how we arrived at the hotel at like 10:00 am...those plans so didn't happen. I fell asleep. until 4:00. So that wasn't really very much fun but now I'm ready to go. I'm sure mom and I will go out to dinner somewhere tonight.
My first impression of London: people are helpful when asked but not very polite. Maybe I'm just used to a different sort of person but not one man allowed me and mom to get on the train at the airport together, everyone is in a race is seemed to get out. Thats fine, I wanted to take my time but its just different than I'm used to. A women dropped something and I noticed but she didn't seem to. I walked over to tell her and she just looked at me, picked it up, and turned around. No thank you. Now thats just weird. Maybe she didn't speak English..who know?!
Anywho if that is the biggest problem I will have to face I know I'm going to LOVE it here. Our taxi driver was a very nice guy who has been to the US 14 times! Thats a lot of times to visit one place. He gave me his business card and let me know that if I need anything, even if it's just to ask a question, to call him and he'll let me know his opinion on things. So, thanks to him!
Well, I'm going to do a bit of unpacking and get ready for dinner, I can't believe my first full day in London will be over in a few short hours. Its amazing.

1. I wish I were there.
ReplyDelete2. While I was reading this, I was editing it. You had quite a few typos, but I'll let it slide this time. You did just get off of an 8 hour trans-atlantic flight, after-all.
Oh, and this is from Ashley, if you didn't figure it out. I'm sure you did, though, because I don't think many other people would critique your blog.
