Departure

Today is the day!  Off to London I go, after a quick layover in Boston.  Checking two suitcases and still having to carry on a backpack and Longchamp bag was not part of the plan until I realized late last night how impossible it is to pack for 5 1/2 months in one suitcase.  But, we rolled, tucked, and zipped everything up and I am finally ready.  Boarding passes and instructions as to where I'm meeting my transportation at London Heathrow airport have been printed, toiletries in 3 oz. bottles bagged, and Kindle has been charged.  I will be arriving in London at 6:35 am Monday, January 6th, jet-lagged, but eager to explore!  Say a few prayers that the cold and bad winter weather do not slow me down!
