So welcome to the first week of our trip to the UK! We arrived in London Thursday, September the 13th. Our flight was uneventful but I do have to say - I don't care for O'Hare airport in Chicago. For us tech junkies, there are almost no plugs in this airport. The only plugs we could find were on these chairs - a total of four chairs. Pfft. But my flight left 30 minutes late and arrived in Heathrow 30 minutes early! Yay tailwinds! Neither Victoria or I slept on the flight so, by the time we made it to Heathrow, we were already tired.
Our first adventure was into town to have lunch and get my cell phone sorted out. We had Indian food and it was good! It was my first time, so I was a bit apprehensive. Getting a cell phone sim card was not as easy, but we managed.
This was all down on Oxford Street. Our first real visit into the city. We were tired, a bit cranky, and in desperate need of sleep. We headed back to our hotel and we were asleep by 6:30pm. We awoke at 8:00am! You cannot imagine how exhausted we actually were. We started traveling by arriving at the airport in Dayton at noon the day before. Then four and a half hour layover in Chicago didn't help. LOL. We slept so soundly!
The next three days were spent in London doing the sightseeing thing. Big Ben, London Eye, Westminster, Camden Town, etc, etc. We didn't go in much - but with the time we had, just kinda did an overview. We talked to people we met - even the grumpy guy on the subway who did not appreciate it when I said "hi" after hitting his hand while sitting down next to him. Victoria reminded me not to talk to people again LOL! I suppose I don't listen well ;)
