Day 1: London - Tales from a Jet-Lagged Zombie

The good news is, we made the flight over to London in about 8 hours. The bad news is, we are starting to get a heavy dose of jet lag. Sleeping on the plane was pretty rough and we have been up for about 25 hours straight now.

The tour guide suggested that we push through tonight, and keep from power napping as it would keep us on US sleep schedule. I am doing my best to make it to 9:00 pm tonight before crashing. Josh....is power napping.

Regardless of the sleeping strategy we choose, it is easy to see this trip is going to be fun. We spent most of today wandering without goal through downtown London, and it couldn't have been better. In an hour or so, we will be taking another trip on the Tube to downtown with our tour guide to explore Big Ben and Tower of London. Hopefully the tour concludes with a few pints of overpriced beer and a quick trip back to our hotel to crash. I can resist the temptation to sleep only so long....


Cheers,

Russell
