I jumped the pond

just wanted to write a quick quip that I have arrived in London, England safe and sound. I have taken a few silly photos of street signs and coca cola light (diet coke) cans. It is cold and raining. I got asked for directions which means that I do not stick out as an ugly American! horray!

My parents were reluctant to let me go through security by myself (I think my mom wanted to just jump into my suitcase). Eventually she realized that I am 21 years old and can handle this by myself.

The flight from Washington Dulles to Heathrow was not as bas as I had expected. I read most of Bridget Jones' Diary but did not sleep a wink. I arrived in London around 6:00am GMT and have spent some time wandering the streets with a friend. I must use the rest of this internet hour to search for flights/trains/ferrys to Paris/Ireland/wherever.

Hope everyone is doing well

Good to hear that your trip over the pond was uneventful. Hope jet lag has run its course, and you are now on London time! Have fun~
