Arrival in England


We have arrived safely, if a bit ragged. S slept well on the plane, but X managed to stay up until 2 am on the flight. We landed around 12:00 and were in our apartment by 6pm. We grabbed dinner at an Italian place called Ask and went to bed. The food was really good and we were very hungry.

We had no trouble navigating Heathrow. I am sure we were a sight with 10 suitcases, 4 carry on bags, two car seats, a pack and play, stroller and 2 babes! We needed three push carts. VW pushed two and I pushed one and pulled the tray of the stroller. We made it!

We rented a mini van (they are much smaller then in the USA). We were packed in so tight I had two carry ons in my lap. From Airport to temporary apartment took us about 5 hours. I don’t know how we would have survived without the GPS. VW is doing a great job driving. I feel like a wreck in the car.

On the disaster end of things-WE LOST X’S HOCKEY HAT!

More later!
