Arrived at our hotel about 9:30 A.M., but couldn’t check in until 1:30 P.M. Our hotel has a comfortable lounge with food and drinks, but lounge chairs are just not enough when you are starved for sleep. Finally, they let us check in at around 12:30 P.M. We took a solid three hour nap this afternoon and then went for a walk about in our hotel’s general neighborhood. So, on to the Pubs.

 

Noisy, too many lights, random announcements and weird food. Someone went pail and clammy in row 33.  The best thing about an airplane is that they don’t try to wake you up and take your blood every four hours.  I just couldn’t add pictures of me unceremoniously flopping around all night, trying to get comfortable and sleep for a bit.  The first picture is Delta’s promise for a relaxing, enjoyable evening.  The second picture is the hard reality.

So it’s around six P.M. and we’re off to London Heathrow. .

Doug is here too! Long trip ahead. Time to settle in!

SO . . . I’m trying to pack (not really; no serious packing has happened) and also trying to set up a travel blog post because one of my friends suggested it today. Quite the learning curve, I’d say. Good grief! Should I add a picture of the things I have packed so far? Okay, I will. Four pairs of random shoes: black low sandals, gold high wedge sandals, black suede low boots, black leather higher boots. Bet you can’t guess where I am going with this shoe wardrobe.

We are going to Europe for a short stay in London and then for two weeks on the Viking Sky to Edinburgh, Scotland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands, and several places in Norway, ending up in Bergen, Norway.  Thanks for joining me!
