A day of travel...

Consisted of "waking" up (after not sleeping the night before) super early to catch my 6:45 am flight to chicago. I then wondered aimlessly through the airport for five hours during my layover. Then came a seven to eight hour flight to Heathrow airport. Then came the happy greeting, of a happy girl in a bright red Middlesex University t-shirt.


However the travel does not stop there.


Next came waiting around in the airport for an hour and a half for our bus to come. Then came an hour long bus ride to the campus. However it was all worth it.





What did I learn while "studying" abroad today (thanks Lori)? Traveling and being tired and smelly really stinks, but England is extremely worth the trouble.





By the way mom, I figured out my internet!




Hunky the monkey and I on the plane...Don't I look lovely?

you really do look lovely! and I know the feeling of being tired and smelly! Last time I went to Europe I had a 3 hour layover in Toronto and it was not cool!! but you are right, Europe is well worth it!

I'm glad you made it there safely. Have lots of fun!
