London, Day #1, Getting into the swing of it


We arrived in London after 9 hour flight from Vancouver BC.   Once again, my Brilliant plans fall apart.   Originally we were all to sleep all night and arrive feeling refreshed ready to conquer the London Tower or some other monument.

The reality, the kids watched TV ALL NIGHT on the plane.  Amy took a work project and I having the worked the night before did my best to sleep in a sitting position.   My faithful 5 year friend (amytriptilline)  failed me.   I basically did not sleep (despite alone, 15 rows away from my family).

We took the Heathrow express (fast, nice and expensive) from the airport to Picaddelli station and then a cab to our Youth Hostel.

We are all woozy from lack of sleep but are looking forward to today's adventure.

    Your story is making me feel exhausted! TV ALL night??!! Eric sleep deprived? Youth Hostel?!

    I wonder if they still have those big red buttons on the escalators in Picadelli station? When I was 9 we stopped there on the way to Saudi Arabia and my sister and I punched the red buttons, causing the emergency stop of the escalator to take effect. My family was pulled into the police/admin office and given a ticket.

    The MI Friedlands wish you a quick recovery from your travels. We miss you already!!
