across the pond, they all know us.

So this is my first post from LONDON! I arrived here safe and sound about 5 hours ago. But before I get into that I'll share a little bit about the journey here.

The first flight was awesome, I had the best flight attendant ever and there was barely anybody on the flight so I had nobody sitting next to me. During the short two hour flight to Denver, I re-learned how to play Yahtzee! on my iPod touch (and consequently got hooked on it). Clearing customs in the States was SO quick. Then I had 3 hours to kill before boarding the flight to London.

The second flight was not so fun. It was obviously a huge plane which was filled to capacity. What I've discovered is that the worst part of being sat in coach is that they make you walk through first class, almost just to throw it in your face! But, it gets worse. I was told I had a window seat when I booked through Travel Cuts (remember Kelly?) and where was I? I wasn't in a window seat, nor was I in an aisle seat. I was in the middle seat of the middle section. Probably as far away from the windows as humanly possible! So what did I do? Took 2 sleeping pills and played Yahtzee! until they kicked in. I didn't get out of my seat once throughout the 9 hour flight.

So Lulu came and got me from Heathrow (which might I add is a HUGE effing airport!) and we somehow managed to get all of ours bags onto the train. We were gonna take the tube back to her place, but I had WAY too much shit and one of the tubelines was closed for maintenance. Instead, we took a taxi. The taxi itself was amazing. As lame as it sounds, it was just a really cool car. Rode back to her place in Tooting and I got to shower and make myself feel like a human being. We then went out to grab a bite to eat at GBK which makes the most amazing gourmet burgers! I had a Pesterella -- pesto and mozzarella on a burger. Fantastic. We then grabbed a beer at a pub (within which loads of people were watching the end of Wimbledon) which was coincidentally in Wimbledon.

Jet Lag is catching up with me and I haven't really processed that I'm actually in London! It's craziness. I think the hardest thing to get used to will be the left hand lane thing -- it's freaky. But anyway, I'm gonna go take a nap. We're probably just gonna stay in and be lame tonight. Tomorrow, it's off to the Eye!

Cheers!
