london, Travel

I have never really been a happy person on planes. They scare the crap out of me. The flight to Toronto was great. But walking to the gate of the leg to London had me worried because of the size of the plane. SO HUGE! But the flight was great. I think I actually prefer bigger planes. There were a few turbulent pockets but overall a really good flight. My seat mates were great. A girl heading to back home to Israel and a guy heading to the oil fields close to Africa. We had a good laugh together. I really wanted to sleep this leg so that I could hit London running without any jet lag but my sleeping pill did not kick in till maybe 45 minutes left in the flight which left me totally out of it when we got to London. I barely remember getting to Jen and George’s place (they live in Parson’s Green in a great flat) and had to go to bed immediately. I slept for a couple hours but felt great afterwards. Jen and I then took the bus to Chelsea and walked around there for a bit. Then walked up to Knightsbridge and then back to her place. Had another nap before having to get ready for this Guilty Pleasures party in Camden Town at this old theatre called Koko. We managed to get a VIP room and it was so much fun. So many people. Ridiculous dance group of, well chubby men. Truly funny. had a great time with Jen and a few of her friends. Stayed out until 2:30. Seriously, despite the sleeping pill dilemna…that is the best way to do it. I have no jet lag at all. Went to bed with a stomach full of slouvlaki.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

london, Paris, Travel

I am 1 sleep away from my first vacation since 1993. I have been so busy at work that I really haven’t had a chance to get excited about it, until this morning. Work is organized and just finishing up a few last minute projects. Clockwatching started at 9am so I have a feeling this last day is going to be SO slow.

Not only is this my first vacation in forever but it is my first trip to Europe. It is seriously wrong that I have never been before but I am just so excited to see all that London and Paris has to offer. I know that being over there is going to let loose the travel bug that has been dormant for so long. If you’ve looked at my bucket list, there are so many places that I still want to go. I’m not getting any younger so I am glad that it all starts tomorrow!

I will post as I can throughout my trip with pictures so you can see and hear about what I have been up to!
