Our total travel time of going from New Orleans to Miami and then the London was about 14-15 hours. And goodness we are exhausted!! The plane ride from Miami to London was tough, but they made it as comfortable as possible. They provided us with blankets, pillows, headphones, and a huge selection of movies. The total flight time was around 9 hours. Scott and I decided to watch American Hustle (which was actually pretty good!), and that seemed to help the time to by. Then the stewardesses offered complimentary dinners with choice of wine or beer. I had the cheese and tomato pasta and of course Scott had the chicken curry. Below is a picture of my dinner:
Scott got a kick out of the stewardesses because they all had British accents. Hello! We're going to London, my friend. He's terrible at a poker face. Once we finished our dinner, sleep was nonexistent. We both got about 30 minutes of sleep. One of the cool things about our own TV screens was that you could see where the plane was in real time and stats. The normal information that was given were things such as, traveling at 576 mph and it was -76 degrees F at one point. Since I knew I wasn't going to sleep, I watched the sun rise which was beautiful.
Once we landed, we got through everything else smoothly and relatively easily. We enjoyed a breakfast sandwich and some iced coffee before we set off to the London Underground. That took us nearly an hour to get to the flat we are staying at. Once we got to the flat, we showered and passed out.
Well, that was our traveling, our first official day of London will be posted soon!!!
