I woke up today in London...

I'm soo tired. I had to write that article for the paper already, and I don't really feel like writing it all again. But I'll put a little bit. First off, we made it. We're currently at our hotel in central London and it is 10:30pm. We are 5 hours ahead here so it is only 5:30 where you are. I've created a photobucket album for my pics so that family and friends can see them. Here's the link. http://s413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/kelli16/ I will try to add pics daily but I can't promise anything. Also I have skype and my username is kelli1216 for those of you who want to do that. I don't have a schedule yet because I wont actually get to my program until tomorrow.

We arrived at Gatwick an hour late at 8am, wandered around the airport aimlessly, bought train tickets to somewhere..., rode the subway thing to the south terminal, took forever to get to the train station (I mean we each had 2 carry-ons and 2 super heavy suitcases, you walk around airports, train stations, and down the street like that and see how hard it is!), made it on the train, had to sit in the handicapped area b/c our luggage wouldn't fit, made it off the train, got a cab, drove around, made it to the hotel who wouldn't let us check in early... it was 10:30 am check in wasn't until 2pm, left our luggage there, wandered around the streets with no maps or idea of where we were going, found Kensington Gardens on accident thought it was pretty and took pics, went in search of cell phones so we could call home, lots of the places were close due to new years, found one, bought it, have called my mom twice! :D, its really cheap so it doesn't even matter- only 2p per min., Sam ate at MacDonalds, I ate at KFC, they had chicken! and bbq sauce!!!!!, came back to hotel, checked in, lugged luggage to second floor room, Kelli went to sleep, Sam took a shower, Sam went to sleep, Kelli's online but about to take a shower. Anyway end of story is we're pooped! Our train in the morning leaves at 9:51 from Paddington across the street to Oxford. We will be there by 11. Then we will have to unpack :( and settle in.
