Sunny London Day

Well, I must admit this was one of my easier overseas flights. The flight from RDU was more than half empty so there was plenty of room to take your own row of seats in order to have a better sleep. I managed to watch the beginning of 'The Blind Side' before falling asleep and waking just as breakfast was being served.

We landed right on time to blue skies and because the plane was so empty, I hopped off with my bag in less than 5 minutes. What was more astonishing was the fact that the customs line literally took 5 minutes and as soon as I had walked to baggage reclaim by bag rolled right past. Perfect timing. The only problem? SOS from the BlackBerry as it couldn't find ANY signal.

I topped up my Oyster card and took the first train on the Piccadilly line to my hotel. More luck? Why, yes! My room was ready so I checked right in and promptly changed to shower. Now I feel incredible; well-rested, clean and walking around in beautiful weather.

Topped up my Vodafone UK phone so I could call Verizon Global - they had my SIM card written down wrong, but now we're good to go.

Lunch today are my favorites from Waitrose - houmous, crusty bread, and tomato/mozzarella salad with sparkling water. Low key for the morning and once lunch is done I am going to look into theatre tickets.
