My trip so far
Ok, so this may be a very long blog. I was hoping to get on here more often but as far as wireless internet goes, the uk seems to be third world. I've been quite busy since I've gotten here and today I'm just taking it easy and catching up on both blogging and I also need to sort out stuff with my bank. I have loads of money but they froze my account so I'm stuck using credit cards and the cash only places are quite plentiful here and in scotland. Argh! If worse comes to worse I'll make my poor mom call them.
Ok, so I'll go daily as of what happened, and use my pics as a guide for saying whats up: I'll do separate blogs each day so I dont get in trouble and have stupid myspace delete them.
First day, Friday night thru Saturday is when I flew out. The flight went ok. Somehow I was upgraded to economy plus so I had leg room! I also had a window seat which is nice for such a long flight. I actually got about 6 hours of sleep on the airplane, which was great. I ended up getting absolutely no jet lag. In fact, I had no trouble adapting to the 8 hour time difference. I amazed all! Elizabeth picked me up at the airport which was really nice because its quite confusing to find your way to london from heathrow. (getting back to heathrow may be tough, especially after the terror plot, so I will be in horrible delays next week, not be allowed a carry on (what will I do with my laptop!) and no mp3 player of course. What scares me about that is that my airline was targeted, they were after flights to the us and scheduled for around the time of my departure! Good thing they caught the guys. At least the security will ensure that I will be extra safe, its just a pain.
Anyway, so the first day I went out with everyone, there was some lame music festival in london, called "fruitstock" and it was sponsored by a juice company or something. It was kinda hot and the music was lame so elizabeth and I left all of the guys there and went back home. I walked around the Thames and saw my first bit of london which was pretty neat. Mostly I just thought how incredibly cute everything here is. I was so energized I could stay up late and hang out and eat dinner with everyone. I am amazing!
