Merry ole England

I made it to England! I'm always sad leaving Ron and Teresa's..they're so fun! Mom got me up around 3:45..ughh. Mom got sick and didn't really sleep..aww. She felt better by the time we got to the airport though (6 something I think). We dropped the car off and checked in..we were both flying standby (we were flying American Airlines) but got seats right away since there were lots of seats available. Morning flights to England aren't as popular as night ones since morning flights get to England at night. I'd rather get here at night..then I can sleep! I had breakfast (the flight served breakfast, but I was already hungry haha) and boarded after a little while. I had a window seat, yaay. I was hoping they'd have Digi Players like Alaska Airlines, but they just had those tiny TVs throughout the cabin. Ugh..I'd rather choose what to watch and not have to squint across the plane haha. Oh well..the flight wasn't too bad (it was 7 hours and 40 minutes)..I just get tired sitting so long haha. Between TV shows they showed the map of where we were and it said we were over Ireland..it was cool seeing the lights out the window! I looked out when we were descending into London..OMG SO MANY LIGHTS. Woww. I got to see the Thames River, the London Eye, Big Ben, etc. So cool to see from the air!! Customs was easy..usually we wait forever but we didn't wait long at all..another reason to come at night haha. We got our luggage and we were gonna exchange money but it was closed..hopefully there's a place nearby we can do it. Jack hired a cab driver and he was waiting for us and he drove us to grandma's house (she lives in West Byfleet). They were happy to see us! Jack has a lovely accent..it's nice to listen to. :P Grandma didn't look a lot different, though she may have lost some weight. We talked for awhile and then I went to bed (mom stayed up talking though)

We haven't done much today except have breakfast. It's nice to relax though. Hopefully one of the days here mom and I will go into London (if not now then when we get back from Switzerland)
