London 2012 - Day 0

Submitted bydkranker onSat, 09/22/2012 - 17:01

Got a ride to KC airport from my cousin. Left for Chicago, O'Hare at 7:40 PM. Was raining in Chicago when we arrived, our plane from KC had to wait 20 minutes on tarmac before getting an open gate at O'Hare. They were boarding for the London flight so we had to hurry, left a message on Mom and Dads phone, and talked to Uncle Brian. The flight to London was only 6 hours (total time in air just around 9 hours, two meals; dinner about 10 PM, then Breakfast before we landed. Made it to London Heathrow airport, took the tube (subway) to Notting Hill Station/Queensway and checked in at 1 Palace Court Apartments, Looks like you add money to a card now for transportation passes, not day passes, and this credit appears to work for subway stations and buses. Past lunchtime here now about 2:30 PM, 8:30 am your time, going to check for the best Indian food now. Tried to call mom on Skype, only one showing online. Taking Big Bus Open Top, Double Decker bus tour at 4 pm London time or so. All pictures from this day here.
