Destination: London, England.
This was the first time I had been on a plane since I was 5 years old, coming from Alaska to California. So, it's been a while. I can't even explain how excited I was boarding. I was quite giddy.
And while everyone put on their headphones, started their movies, I waited, sitting upright for liftoff. I remember loving it as a kid, and I could not wait to finally be up in the air.
8 hour flight-maybe an hour of sleep (thank you to the screaming children) I watched The Great Gatsby and Life of Pi, ate some pasta and my stash of Belvita bars.
Arrived at Heathrow Airport this morning around 11-I managed to go through everything quickly, surprisingly so since this was all new to me. Met up with the rest of my group, and were escorted to our accommodations.
Conway Hall, Waterloo.Perfect location. loved loved loved.
Right next to the underground station and a plethora of buses, also next to Southbank, and a 5 minute walk to the London eye.
The place used to be a hospital for women and children, and it is quite lovely.
I kept saying "I can't believe Im here"
it hit me that I am indeed HERE when we crossed the bridge and saw this
made me realize, yes, I am in London, England. dream come true.
