Made it to London!

One more flight to go. 

With all of the jet lag and time changes, it's hard to track the detail. Like what day it is. Maybe we landed in London at 6am on the 30th with a flight to Dubai not until the 31st (hopefully). No one slept on the plane despite trying really hard. The children even turned off their screens for more than an hour (gasp)! So all we had to do was pass the time in London and stay awake. Let's quick drop the luggage at a hotel...

Next, let's take the train into the city...

And finally, let's ride around London on a hop-on-hop-off tour bus...

We were awake sometimes too!

Rigley decided she'd like to live in London someday. 

Her 3-step plan:

#1 Go to college in London

#2 "Make bank"

#3 Buy fancy clothes so she blends in in London

We did love London (a small step up from Dallas, no offence Texans!) and would love to sell a kidney and come back someday. 

A full 13 hours of sleep later we awoke to the best surprise ever...

These are our friends Sarah and Errol (Peace Corps friends) who just happened to be in London with their kids. We laughed for 90 minutes straight until heading to the airport. 

Another quick panic attack as Jen and the kids' reservation could not be found in the system. (Chris was apparently good to go!) 30 minutes of terror while the agent called around trying to find a hidden reservation. And finally, victory! No clue what happened and we didn't stop to ask. It now appears that we are headed to Dubai! 

I'm giving it an 81% chance we make it!
