Hello world! The five are finally all together after a long, flight filled, jet-laggy day. So far, our adventurers have run into their fair share of excitement. Eleni raves about a breakfast/lunch of toast, eggs, bacon, and cheese, and also about her little black wallet with a notebook so she can quickly jot down all her little adventures. Adi's backpack didn't arrive... but it should come tomorrow if all goes well. If it doesn't go well, he'll get compensation by delta and his insurance company yay! Adi, Nolan, and Parker explored a bit of London today, seeing Buckingham Palace, Piccadily Circus, Hyde Park, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the outside of the Tower of London and the London Dungeon, and a couple of other places. Eleni and Sam took an epic nap, and we all met up ... read more

I made an error! I don't land at 2 but at 5pm... This means it is the perfect time of day for you to leave your jobs, hobbies, wives/husbands and come and meet me at the airport! I've off to the Globe! I'll write an actual entry later, I just thought that I should fix this rather large error! Also it's Kristin's birthday today, and because I can't be there to tell her that she's old to her face, I'm doing it on this very public forum. Happy Birthday Kristin, you're old! Dear Blog, Europe likes to steal things, Love Lana (to be explained later)... read more

Hi Everybody I am in the process of putting together a travel blog so everyone can see how we are going in our travels. At the moment both Nadine are still at work and will be finishing on Friday 30/05/08. We are very busy at the moment cleaning out our flat and getting it ready for leaving on 01/06/08.

I will put some photos of our van on here soon but just want to give it a bit of a clean first as its very ... read more

An early morning start to get to the London Eye before the queues. It was cold, wet and rain was forecast all day (and tomorrow). We arrived shortly before the ticket office opened and battled our way through more than 8 people to exchange our voucher. We opted to wait under cover until the Eye started up half an hour later, but noticed they actually started it shortly after we had our ticket! Again, we had to wait *several* minutes in the queue to board our "flight". Glad we got up early and rushed there. As impressive as the Eye is, the rainy weather made photographing anything frustrating as the glass capsules were covered in raindrops, and of course the visibility was limited. Regardless, it was a fantastic view and before we knew it the 28 ... read more

I'm a lucky girl. 1. Workshop in Calgary for one week with personal hero--where not only was she super nice, but I loved the work we were doing. I happen to be very good at finding heros who are nice. 2. Having lovely friends and family who did special things to make this trip better. Cards/money, hugs--my TA girls (and Hisham) giving me that lovely coat (which has been really handy as it's been cold and windy and rainy here a lot). 3. Just being able to take this trip. 4. Staying with the nicest people possible! When my mom was in Africa, she met Judith--from England. They stayed in touch, and Judith agreed to let me stay with her and her family in Lewes--which is south of England. Close to Brighton. I was a little ... read more
