…in London, England

Getting ready for a vacation overseas is always a lot of work, especially when you try to get the house at home clean for overnight guests. On Tuesday, I spent the day cleaning the kitchen, changing all the bed sheets, doing four loads of laundry, cleaning out the fridge, delivering food that won’t keep to the neighbours and of course packing.

Finally at 8:00 pm the Uber arrived to take us to the airport and at the same time Gaelan and her family pulled up to stay overnight. We said a quick hello and goodbye and then headed to Pearson. Once at the airport we checked our bags and went through security and then had to wait over two hours to board the plane.

The flight was a bit turbulent and I found it next to impossible to sleep. We landed at 11:30 am UK time and then had a very long walk through Heathrow to get to customs and our luggage. The pick up for our London Uber was very easy to find and our car arrived within five minutes.

When we finally arrived at our son’s flat it was 2:30 and we were exhausted. Jet lag is always the worst on the first day but it is worth it when I can have dinner with this little girl.
