Hello,
I made it to London in one piece! It was a bit dicey at a few points on the flight from Toronto to London. The flight didn't agree with me (which is unusal since I've never felt sick on a flight before). We suffered through quite a bit of turblence (spelling??-feel free to correct me mum as I am sure you will. I am not sure why there isn't spell check on here). When I was waiting in the airport in Toronto a girl noticed my contiki tour wallet and asked if I was going on a tour. She and her friend were heading from Toronto to London to do a tour. We caught up the flight and traveled together to the Contiki Basement which is connected to the hotel they are staying. My hotel was a few minutes walk away so I went with them to ask questions about my tour and hang out until we could check in at our respective hotels. Upon checking in I had to go to the porter to get my key, My key is so old school! It is a key on a long metal rod. When you leave the hotel you have to leave your key at the porter station and pick it up (showing a key paper thing) when you return. My room is quite small. It is what I envison a dorm room looking like but, mine being smaller. It is clean at least and I have a single room for the three days (instead of the two days before my tour officially starts). This netbook sure eats up battery power so I best go now so I don't have to charge it up so early into my trip. I am off to get something to drink and explore around my hotel before finding supper. Perhaps I will find some fish and chips! Tomorrow I am going on a hop on hop off bus tours. If it doesn't take too long to load up I might post some pictures. Oh before I go: Melissa-I got your comment but for some reason it won't show up under the blog-will have to figure it out later. Trevor, Charla, and mum you wrote private messages instead of comments. To comment I believe you have to click on comment.

I hope we can work out the comment showing thing, but I am glad you received it. How is London??? I love the old key plan for the hotel room, what hotel are you staying at? Is the whole hotel old fashioned? Enjoy the first few days of your trip!
