Excited to be "along" with you guys on this amazing trip. I so wanted to go on this but couldn't talk my hubby into spending the $$$$.
Have an amazing time!

We got in about 30 minutes before John and Kevin and were at the Hotel by 11. Here is my PSA for when traveling overseas. Please do not take your pants off to sleep in your underwear and black socks on the Plane. I am pleading with you all. My eyes are still burning! First class does not equal no class! Pics to follow (but not of the dude in his undies)!

Thrilled to be here.
In the past, I have been tired from flying and I've experienced jet lag (I think), but I have never experienced anything like yesterday.
Becx and Gavin (they live here).

After landing and getting to the hotel, we met a bunch of folks in the lobby. Some of them had been here a day or two and some were just checking in like us.
After dropping stuff in our room, were invited to lunch by Pete, Walter, Becx and Gavin (they live here). Half of us took a taxi and half of us walked to the West End and enjoyed a terrific lunch at Steak and Co.
It was during lunch that I realized exactly how tired I was. I kept being told that it was too early in the day to sleep and that I should try to make it until at least 7 or 8 pm before going to sleep or I was never going to be able to make it through the night and my sleep pattern would be ruined until I reached retirement age.
After lunch, we walked to Covent Garden for coffee and dessert. Again, I realized that I was nodding. We strolled Covent Garden...bought some trinkets and that was it. I had to go back to the hotel or I was findin a bench and laying down.
The trip back to the hotel was filled with more horror stories about what would befall me if I took an afternoon nap.
We get back and John decides to walk to the little corner store for some bottled water while I checked email.
Needless to say, I was asleep before he got to the elevator.
Upon his retrun, I was woken up with yet more admonitionsnabout napping.
To make this long story shorter....we both fell asleep, woke up around 8ish, order room service and then fell asleep again.
It's 6:53am according to my iPad and I'm getting ready to go visit the Queen at Bckingham Palace.
Slept all night and if we didn't have something to do, I'd go back to sleep.
So much for m glorious first day in London.
I'm going to make up for it today.
More later.
Cherrio!
