First Day in London

As our first day abroad comes to an end I want to update you on a few things. We were able to secure tickets to Legally Blonde for tomorrow evening at the Savoy Theatre. The girls were SOOO excited!

After purchasing the tickets, we took the underground to Harrods where the girls shopped and shopped. They asked to come back for more shopping. Oh No!

Later we ate dinner at the local London Pub, then back to the hotel. As I blog, I am surrounded by girls on their laptop. iPads, phones etc ... taking advantage of the free wireless in the lobby. What a great group of girls. So excited to be spending the next few weeks with them. Will update more tomorrow . . .

We Made It!

Finally...we touched down in London around 8:30 a.m. Overall is was a smooth takeoff, flight and landing. Our hotel, The Royal National Hotel is located in Russell Square which is fairly centrally located. After checking in, we took the girls for fish and chips and to the British Museum filled with incredible Egyptian artifacts dating back to 700 B.C. In addition, the museum houses the Rosetta Stone. So far, we've not had luck finding tickets to a show ...we'll keep trying. We're going take the girls to Harrod's via the Underground, then dinner, then back to the hotel for an early evening. Tomorrow morning we'll depart around 9:00 for a city tour of London. Stay tuned . . .

2011 Trip! 1 day to go . . . .

I hope everyone is as excited as I am to travel to England and Paris!

I've been collecting the "suggestions" regarding which show to see in England. We'll discuss further at the airport tomorrow.

Au Revoir and Cheerio!
