UPDATE: London!

We are here safely in London!  Kayla and I had this sketchy flight on this sketchy airlines, Ryan Airlines (It only cost 130 Euros for round trip).  Partly because it flew into London Stansted Airport, which is 50+ miles outside of actual London.

So, after queuing (That's the word for it here!) waiting at the airport security for an hour, we wandered around looking for the train station.  We then took an 50 minute train ride to the middle of London!  When we got to the train station, we tried to take money out from the ATM.  That failed, due to my card being deactivated...  Luckily we had Euros that we exchanged then had some Burger King!

Then, another hour on the Underground (which is ironically partly above ground!).  When we got there, I realized that I didn't remember exactly where the hotel was from the Underground station.  We walked 5 minutes the wrong way, asked someone with a heavy Russian accent where the hotel was, and found out that we went the wrong way.  15 minutes the other way and we got to our hotel!

There are issues where we should have breakfast included, but they are saying we don't have it.  It's being resolved, but we had to pay for it today.  Bleh. Oh well.  After a good sleep, we now to get to go visit places!  Stay tuned for updates!
