Dream Trip

Ryder asked me a couple of months ago to renew my passport. We had talked about various places that we would like to visit. The top of my list was England. Ryder's was Dubia. My passport arrrived and he was ready to leave that day. However, reality kicked in that we needed time to prepare and triple check flights. We would be flying standby which can be a struggle in of itself. Then mattthe nerves kicked in and my feet started to drag.

March arrived with no plans made. Ryder took control and planned a birthday surprise. My assignment were getting a week of from work. Check!! He couldn't control his excitement and spilled the beans that we were off to London for a week. Our only problem was going to be flights our of Las Vegas. Quick thinking and flexability we all found ourselves driving to Los Angeles for Reganne's concert. Monday morning Dave & Reganne would drop us off at the airport to catch a flight to London.

We made it to the gate

with time to spare. Maybe just a little too much time.

He looks ready to get the show on the road.

Or rather lets in on the plane.

We made it!!

Not first class but business class instead.

He has a row to stretch out.

I am in the middle section all alone.

We Made It!!

This was our view out our window 

at the hotel.

Not as bad as it could be.

British Museum

We landed around 10:00 in the morning.

Our goal is to stay awake until dark and try and see as much as we can.

Rosetta Stone

Largest library

This room was filled with books, visitors, maps, and claims to have had

very famous visitors.

Outside in the courtyard

There were so many people walking around. This was not

about English history but of various world cultures and artifacts.

Fish & Chips

We were starving and ready to eat.

There was so much food we could have shared one plate and be full.

The challenge is still going with 2 weeks left. Can I stay on track?

We had to get a picture of the sign in the window.

Hopefully remember our first meal in London.

The streets are crazy.

Not sure what the Harry Potter building was.

It looked like it has been here for years or maybe hundreds of years.

Our tummys are full, our feet are tired, and our eyes are starting to droop. The sun is also starting to set. Neither one of us felt confident to be out and about on our first night. We found our way back to our hotel for an early night.
