We have arrived

---

Well we got here. The flight went pretty fast, but we almost froze to death...those light blankets just don't keep you very warm. Heathrow went surprisingly well. We picked up our luggage and our portable mi-fi device so we always have Internet, found the train to London and off we went. Met a bunch of Americans who were on their first visit to the UK and we were the travel experts. Andy was concerned about this, since we have been known to get lost before and sometimes we make unfortunate travel decisions .... But this time we all got to Paddington Station safely. Then we were off to the underground .... And the stop by the hotel was really by the hotel.

The hotel .... Well all I can say is Dave is amazing. The hotel is FABULOUS and we have access to the executive lounge and all the food and drink we need. And free Internet. Rooms are very nice.

So this afternoon we took a sightseeing tour of London. Very interesting sights and an amazing amount of people out in London today. Saw come protests and a bus of naked people throwing underwear at passersby. Wwended up walking back from the tour end point and had a great time. Kudos to Andy who navigated us back to our hotel using only a sightseeing map.

so here are our pictures for the day ..... We are having a blast!
