The Queen of England says hello...

...Or atleast she would if she knew us!
We've arrived in London to a full blanket of snow (so glad we brought warm jackets too). The flight was uneventful, although it was hard for any of us to sleep. I think Taylor finished most of her assigned homework, and both girls spent some time sitting with the Lim's (Olivia + Alysia).
Going through customs wasn't difficult, but we did spend extra time waiting on Sammie's luggage because it was the only bag on the plane that didn't come out for claiming. United found it 1/2 hour later caught in the conveyor belt! We also misplaced Sammie's backpack having left it on the shuttle to our hotel, however the shuttle driver retuned when he found it. Lesson learned... keep track of our stuff!
Our hotel is perfectly located in Kensington near many famous spots like Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, + Herrods. I'm so thankful that all the hotel research I did brought us to our lovely hotel because it's actually a 2 bedroom apartment including a full kitchen, and patio!
Our internal clocks are very confused as England is 8 hrs ahead of California, but we managed to stay awake through 3pm here and then we all took a nap.
Tomorrow we will meet Eric's 2nd cousin, Erik Story from Norway, and officially become tourists.
So until tomorrow... God Save the Queen!
