I'm Here!

[mrs_ladybird]

I'm in England! It took me a long time to get here, I left work at 5pm yesterday to head to the airport and finally checked into my hotel at 5pm today which was noon Canada time. My flight was delayed which then delayed my bus. The good news is that I managed some sleep on both the flight and the bus...so I'm not in bad shape. How I sleep tonight will determine how my jet lag will go I guess. I usually adjust to this kind of stuff easily though, so I'm hoping this time is the same. Dan met me here at the hotel shortly after I arrived. We went for a walk and he showed me the convention center where his conference is. There are also all kinds of pubs and restaurants there, so he sat with me while I ordered and started eating my dinner. I got a chicken, leek & ham pie with chips, peas & gravy. I really wanted a hot meal and this was cheap and tasty!! Dan left just before I was done to head over to the conference formal dinner. I decided not to go, for several reasons. It would have been nearly $60 for a ticket for me, I'm tired, and it likely would have been boring conference talk anyway. I'm happy to be fed and back in the hotel now, which is 7:30. I plan to have a hot shower and get into my PJs and spend the rest of the evening surfing around online and watching TV!

This trip is not a vacation. It's a scouting mission for MY vacation... got it? ;)

Oh.. yeah. Hope you're having fun and all that. :)

Good to hear from you! Glad the trip over there was uneventful. I hope you're having a good time. Take a picture of a guard, and a phonebooth for me, okay?!

Yay England! I'm so jealous. Wave hello to Scotland for me and tell them that my gene pool misses them....;-)
