I made it to Enlgand, safe and sound!
I have to say, I was rather depressed when I get on the plan to London... we didn't have tv's on the chair in front of us!! I was so expecting that, just like they had it last time, but Noooo.....



Here's a view from my window as I flew into London...

I have to admit that I got bored during the FIVE HOUR lay-over before London, so I did a little practicing...

Dad accidentally got me the wrong converter. So I spent the first 24 hours here without internet, and boy - was that stressful!! I was freaking out, trying to figure out a way to send Mom news that I had arrived.  I finally asked the guy at Reception if I could use their computer for 5 minutes, and luckly he let me... My computer only has 24% battery life remaining. I started out with 33%, and it took me an hour and a half to get that much... In order to get power, I have to plug in my computer to this light fixture above the sink in my room... but only charges about 30-60 seconds at a time, so I have to keep plugging and replugging it. Talk about annoying....Here's what I have to plug it into:


Let's hope that I don't blow up my computer; or to hotel!


And, here's my room... VERY small.


More to come... when I figure out a way to charge my computer...

This is the first time I have ever 'blogged'.  I am setting it up so that my friends can see what I am up to whilst away in England.

So basically, this is a test blog... So I can figure out how to work this thing.
My first blog will probably be 27 or 28 December, while I sit in the hotel room in London, England; waiting for Victoria to arrive 29 December....
