England - Day 1 - Travel
Well, after working half a day at my office, I left for the airport. Big thanks to friend's parents for taking my car home from the airport and car-sitting for the week. Checking in at the airport was fairly painless considering there were 13 of us to check in. I tried to stay awake until we took off from Chicago. Sleeping on a plan stinks!!! We were all supposed to sit together, then ended up spread out all over the plane. One of our teammates ended up sitting all alone. The rest of us were sitting in the middle section, but still several rows apart. Oh well - we wanted to sleep most of the way anyway.
Sleep escaped many of us. I think we all got at least 45 minutes, and some got lots more, but it wasn't exactly restful sleep. We will survive!
Getting off in London was ok. My knees were killing me - I actually started crying b/c they hurt so badly. Going through passport control at Heathrow is a great story - if you wanna know just ask - it would have been funny if I wasn't exhausted and in quiet a bit of pain. I survived that is all that matters.
We made a dash for the train and made it. We were spread out all over the train which gave us a needed breather before we embarked on a mission experience that is sure to be amazing.
