Today we left from Boise to fly to Europe. First destination London, England. What a trip it has been so far. Our flight was supposed to leave Boise at 3:05pm and we ended up leaving at 3:30pm. We had to change planes in Salt Lake City, our plane was scheduled to depart at 4:35pm for Atlanta. We landed in terminal B at 4:25pm and needed to get to terminal C by 4:35pm.
Once we got off the plane - we ran!!! As we got to the top of the terminal, we were blessed to have a airport transporter just sitting there. She said, "Jump in and I'll drive!". Keep in mind that we had 3 min until the doors on the plane were closing. As we pulled up to our gate, the flight attendants were saying, "Last call for Morgan". We jumped off and made the flight. We left Salt Lake to make another plane change in Atlanta, Georgia. We were on time for the Atlanta flight to London.
Our flight to London took off at 11:50pm to arrive in London at noon. We had dinner, which was actually decent, then took a sleeping pill, covered my eyes with the patches.
We arrived in London at 12:05pm, which is 6:05am in Boise. We decided to wait and call the kids after school. So at 9pm tonight we'll call and it will be 3pm in Boise. We are staying at the Hilton. Scott and I kept saying, while the driver was whipping us through the not so wide streets, that we were glad we weren't driving. Everything is opposite to what we do in the US.
After getting checked in, showered/changed, we were told to go out not to sleep to help combat jet lag. We decided to walk to London's famous Hyde Park. The park is over 630 acres. As we walked down the streets and through the park, we noticed quite a few people just sitting around on the lawn relaxing and smoking pot. Yes pot - apparently the US is the only place it is not legal!
What a beautiful day today was. The sun was shining, which was unusual for London at this time, and the weather was nice. We ended up walking around 3 miles today. We're tired. Report more tomorrow.
