London Day 1

It's been a couple of years since my last trip to London. It's such a beautiful city and I have really missed it. The flight from Texas was not bad at all. The plane was almost empty which meant a row to myself so I could stretch out and get some sleep. Nothing worse than arriving in London totally worn out. That being said it is still a long ass flight. Meal was some type of pasta thing. Booze was free, woot! Watch a few movies, the best of which was The Hangover.

Landed at Heathrow and decided on the tube into central London. Mistake. Slow as shit and hot as hell. WTF, why is London so damn hot this time of year? Sunshine, warm weather. Did my plane get miss routed?

Checked into the hotel. Gotta love the small rooms. This one was really small. But the windows worked and it was high enough to get above the street noise, so it's all good.

Needed to get out and shake off the jet lag. Took a long walk along the Thames. Saw the building were the apartment we rented for next week is located.

England vs Croatia at Wembley Stadium. England hammered them 5-1 to secure their place in South Africa next year. Sunshine and England winning, this is going to be a good trip I can tell it already.

*Sorry to be putting this off til now, but I really haven't had time to sort out everything since my return from London until now.
