Counting Down the Final Hours

Today's the day! We're leaving for London tonight! I'm at work today, even though I should be off, but I'm leaving at 3:00pm, just to give us a bit more time to get ready to get to the airport. IBaca selengkapnya
Waiting....
6 November 2016, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌙 48 °F
Joe picked us up at 6:30 and dropped us off at JFK airport, terminal 4, the Delta Airlines terminal. Check in was very easy with no line at all. I was lucky enough to get TSA Pre check, whichBaca selengkapnya
Where is Everyone?
6 November 2016, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌙 46 °F
We're still here at JFK waiting to go. I guess we got here at the airport a bit too early. It feels like we've been waiting forever! Still, I'd rather be too early than running late!
We're Ready to Go!
6 November 2016, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌙 46 °F
It was a long wait, but we're on the plane and ready to go. Lots of people are still boarding so it's kind of crazy in here right now. Lots of jostling and people bumping things into each other. I'mBaca selengkapnya
Meal Time
6 November 2016, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 30 °F
I'm currently up in the air, around 675 miles out from New York. The flight map is showing us as being somewhere off the coast of northern Canada. We were just served dinner, even though is a littleBaca selengkapnya
Up in the Air
7 November 2016, North Atlantic Ocean
We're in the air! I'm feeling so excited! Every minute takes me closer to London! My seat, after sitting in it for so long, is not very comfortable anymore. I really hope that we get there soon!
I Can't Sleep
7 November 2016, North Atlantic Ocean
This flight feels like it's never going to end. Kathy is lucky that she's able to sleep while we're flying but sleeping on a plane is always very difficult for me. I can never seem to get comfortableBaca selengkapnya
Mapping it Out
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F
I must say that I really like the personal video screens that each seat has. You can watch movies and television shows, play games, listen to music or get very detailed flight information and a mapBaca selengkapnya
Mind the Gap
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
We're in London! Right now we're on the Underground which, like the New York City subway system, doesn't always go underground. We're riding from Heathrow Airport to our hotel in Leicester Square. IBaca selengkapnya
We Made It!
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
Riding on the underground was fun but after traveling for so long on both a plane and now a train, we're so happy to finally have made it to our hotel here in Leicester Square. We'll be staying at theBaca selengkapnya
In Our Room
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
We made it to our hotel with no problems at all. We're staying at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire Hotel, located in the center of Leicester Square. It's only about two minutes away from theBaca selengkapnya
Small but Homey
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
Here's a view from the other side of the room. I'm laying on the bed, looking out over the rest of the room. Yes, it's very small but it's going to be home for the next several days.
The first thingBaca selengkapnya
A Room with a View
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
Our hotel room only had one window, which was kind of small, and this is the view that we had. Quite uninspiring but I guess it could be a lot worse. At least it wasn't something like a brick wallBaca selengkapnya
Looking for Lunch
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
This fish and chips place was right next door to our hotel and almost became our first meal in London. Kathy wasn't really in the mood for fish though so we went to Garfunkel's, right next door toBaca selengkapnya
Garfunkel's Fare

After checking into the hotel, and a brief rest to catch our breath, we were feeling hungry so we decided to go out and get something to eat. Leicester Square had no shortage of restaurants, many justBaca selengkapnya
M&M's World
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
The rest of our first night in London was spent wandering around the city and enjoying feeling that we finally made it here. There is so much to see and do in Leicester Square! It's sort of like theBaca selengkapnya
Welcome to Chinatown
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
The first area that we came to was Chinatown. I'm glad that this neighborhood was so close to our hotel because I know that Kathy likes to eat in the Chinatown of what ever city we visit.
Waxy's Little Sister
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
A lot of the restaurants here in England have very unusual, but catchy, names. This one, in Chinatown, is called Waxy's Little Sister. Who is Waxy? Why did his little sister get her own restaurant? IBaca selengkapnya
Chinatown Streets
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
Most of the Chinatowns I've been to seem very similar but this one in London felt very different. The streets were wide and uncrowded and everything was so clean. I really like it here!
At Hong Kong Buffet
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
I really like how colorful London's Chinatown is. It really gives this neighborhood a very exciting and festive feel. We're seeing so many restaurants around here that we're thinking of coming back toBaca selengkapnya
Fresh Fruits
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
The ubiquitous fruit and vegetable markets, a staple of every Chinatown, are present throughout the London version as well. Just like everywhere else, every thing seems to be reasonably priced andBaca selengkapnya
Walking the Streets
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
I'm still amazed by how empty the streets are in Chinatown. You would think it's like 2 or 3 in the morning but it's just past 7:30. Do people in London go to sleep so early? Doesn't anyone go out forBaca selengkapnya
Ku Bar
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 39 °F
We never go to bars, or even drink, but sometimes I see a bar that looks very interesting from a photography standpoint. This is Ku Bar, an award winning gay bar in Chinatown. I'm not sure what sortBaca selengkapnya
Going Shopping
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 37 °F
I really love how colorful everything looks, even during the evening. The architecture is fantastic also. All the buildings in this neighborhood look so old fashioned. We've never seen anything likeBaca selengkapnya
Red is Lucky
7 November 2016, Inggris ⋅ 🌙 37 °F
Like in every Chinatown, much of the architecture is done in a predominantly red color, since that's considered the most lucky color by the Chinese. Kathy doesn't really believe in that and wearsBaca selengkapnya
