The Landing
I'm in London! Finally, after TWO LONG plane rides. I am safe and sound at my hostel though I can't check in for another hour. The trip was relatively smooth. Though I did have a bit of trouble figuring out how to catch the train from Gatwich. Once I did it was pretty easy to navigate from there. I've spent my allotted £12 for the day. 9.80 on train fare; .29p for some cream cheese to go on the bagel that I stowed away from my vegetarian breakfest on the plane ( i think my vegetarian dinner was much better than the regular one on board... but the breakfast was not as impressive...but i did get my meals before everyone else... because I'm special); and £2 on 40 minutes of internet time. I probably would not have bought so much had I a pound instead of a two pound coin. But it's for the best because I only have 17 minutes remaining. I met two girls on the plane, Tara and Alexa who are travelling alone like me. One is hoping to work in London and the other is just here a few days in transit to India. They are both from Michigan and a bit unfairly lucky to have seats together. I was stuck on my own amoungst at least 10 couples of seniors. I haven't gotten too much sleep. We landed at 10 AM London time which is 5 AM Georgia time. But I feel pretty good and the weather is nice. I think I'll just look through brochures until they let me check in. I'll try to update shortly. Thanks for checking up!

Mom and Dad are not the only ones hanging on every word. Post every chance you get. We love you and plan to enjoy your adventure vicariously (how thoughtful of you to sit where WE would be comfortable - among groups of seniors!) Aunt Joan
