First Day in London

As some of you know we had a late flight out of Detorit at 5:50pm on Monday night, which made us end up landing in London at 6:30am on Tuesday morning. If I could give someone who is traveling one piece of advice is SLEEP on the plane. I tried to sleep on the plane, but I’m pretty sure that I only got about an hours worth of sleep on the plane. That little sleep lead to a very interesting day on Tuesday. The plane ride was actually pretty great. We got some pretty cool little goodies on the plane that made the trip more comfortable and the food wasn’t horrible either.

Hello London! I am not sure if it normal, but when we were flying in the plane did a loop around London and we got such an amazing view of the city.

We got into the city around 7:45am on Tuesday morning, but the only problem was that we could not check into our hotel until 2:00pm. So what is the logically thing to do with 10 jet lagged and tired students? Get some breakfast and walk the city for hours of course! We walked for a couple of hours to see the area around our hotel and to show the students some of places they will be visiting on there own. We saw our home tube station, South Kensington, Albert Memorial, a little of Kensington Park, a few grocery stores, and restaurants.

Well it’s time for me to get ready for another exciting day. I know I will be posting again soon since there is plenty to say about our day on Wednesday and Thursday!

Until Next Time,
