Counting Down the Final Hours
2016年11月6日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
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. Iもっと詳しく
Waiting....
2016年11月6日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 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, whichもっと詳しく
Where is Everyone?
2016年11月6日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 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!
2016年11月6日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 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'mもっと詳しく
Meal Time
2016年11月6日, カナダ ⋅ ⛅ 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 littleもっと詳しく
Up in the Air
2016年11月7日, 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
2016年11月7日, 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 comfortableもっと詳しく
Mapping it Out
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ☀️ 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 mapもっと詳しく
Mind the Gap
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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. Iもっと詳しく
We Made It!
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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 theもっと詳しく
In Our Room
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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 theもっと詳しく
Small but Homey
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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 thingもっと詳しく
A Room with a View
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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 wallもっと詳しく
Looking for Lunch
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 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 toもっと詳しく
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 justもっと詳しく
M&M's World
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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 theもっと詳しく
Welcome to Chinatown
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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? Iもっと詳しく
Chinatown Streets
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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

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 toもっと詳しく
Fresh Fruits
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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 andもっと詳しく
Walking the Streets
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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 forもっと詳しく
Ku Bar
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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 sortもっと詳しく
Going Shopping

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 likeもっと詳しく
Red is Lucky
2016年11月7日, イングランド ⋅ 🌙 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 wearsもっと詳しく
