Safely in Our Flat in London - Greetings From Great Britain

We had a good trip to London.

We left our house at noon - Tuesday. Our flight left TLH at 1:30 PM.

We were supposed to leave Atlanta at 5 PM - but when we were on the runway - a bad storm came in and it poured on us for an hour. Then the airport opened up and we were number 2 to take off.

We had great seats on the plane - 5 feet of leg room in front of us - we had the exit area. The flight was calm - they served two meals. I did not sleep - Lulu did. We arrived around 8 AM at Gatwick Airport. All our bags arrived on time.

We took a train from Gatwick Airport to Victoria Station downtown. Then we caught a cab to our flat. We got the keys at the office and brought in our 8 - yes 8 - bags.

Our internet was programmed for our computers already. Over here - you must enter a specific address for each computer. I can use my macbook - ipad - iphone - all on the net in our apartment. The speed is ok - 4 mbps on my first test. The big news is - our slingbox works great. We can watch our TV and DVR from back home over the net.

Lulu is already taking a nap here on the sofa.
