  • We’re still trying to get onto London time. Once again, I slept a few hours at night, was up in the wee hours and slept again a little more around 7am. Today will be the day of food as we visit Borough Market and Fifteen.

  • Earlier today we landed hard at Heathrow airport at just past 1:30pm local time. It was one of those landings that you could see coming because the ground was approaching much faster than normal. When we hit the tarmac one of the flight attendants in the back actually let out a yelp before wondering out loud who was driving the plane!

  • Day 1. Our flight leaves this evening and we haven’t finished packing. We put together a detailed schedule for the grandparents so they know where, when, and how to take the kids to all of their schools and extra-curricular activities. Itemizing all of the equipment needed for t-ball, hockey, and swimming takes longer than expected. Gotta get the kids off to school and still haven’t finished packing.
