Well, we got here after a long flight. It was a good flight, aside for two hours on the tarmac waiting to cross a runway, with a toddler screaming in the row behind us. We got through customs like a breese and off to the train. By the way, if you are in Heathrow and are planning to catch the train to town make sure to take the Heathrow Connect not the express. the express is dam near extortion ... four times the cost for a savings of 15 minutes...Duh, no brainer there, except we were exhausted and not paying attention. Anyhoo, we caught the tube on out to Ipswich and met up with Emma and got to our place to stay. Which I will talk about more when I get some pics of.

We're having a grand time, cold as hell so I'm glad we have some warm clothes. Still feeling a warm glow from the going away party, miss you all (especially the dogs, sorry people)

I've been around the world to a few places and have felt like they were a lot like home. However here I really feel like I'm in another country. I love all the old buildings and architecture. It's quite a bustling place over here.

Kinda funy how fast I pick up a bit of an accent, I can hear it myself and I'm not even doing it on purpose. In fact I try not to when I'm talking with family because they know I'n not from here.

I love traveling with Justice, we make such a good team. There is no one I would rether be doing this with.

Hope you are all well and happy. We are.
Cheers,
John & Justice

Merry Christmas!
Dear Folks, It was awesome talking to you today! It made us feel closer! We're halfway through the presents and are having a brief intermission due to a freak turkey charring incident (no names, but their initials are Curt and Terry), and an urgent need to purchase a replacement. We hope your bird turned out better, we've got to go flip ours. Much love. Merry Christmas and Safe Travels! - Fam
