I have Arrived!

The trip has officially begun! I am currently on the plane in seat #59D on Virgin Atlantic Flight #46. Our flight took off right on time which is always a great start. I am sitting with the aisle to my left and Steve to my right and Randy to his right.

So the first movie of the evening with my oh so delicious airplane dinner (not going to lie, the brownie for dessert was excellent) was 500 Days of Summer which was great because I’ve been wanting to see it. I really liked it, I thought it was very cute and I love Zooey Dechanel so that was a plus. I LOVED the point of the movie, which was basically that everything in life is a coincident and that there are no miracles; things happen the way they are meant to happen. I’m going to keep that in mind…

17 Again is the best movie .. Zac Efron actually said as a guy was giving his wife carnations, “Carnations? What a dooshbag!” Ahhh! Love it, so good. I actually got choked up at the end of this movie, it was so cute :) steve is watching it too, I find that very funny.

Someone 2 rows up is watching the west wing…

Bandsland or whatever the movie is called with Aly Michalka and Vanessa Hudgens was cute but I didn’t finish it before the plan ride :( Anyway, we landed, and I am officially in the UK! Of coarse it is raining… The group of us on the plane consists of myself, Steve, Faryn, Randy, Emily, Amy, and Kamara. We split up into 2 cabs; the cabs are so cute and different, and the driver was kinda a jerk and I couldn’t understand him… the other driver called him a wanker (first slang word since being here)

The drive to the hostel or whatever you call this place, it is called Endsley Garden, took an hour and I kept sleeping on and off until we got here… the trip cost £80 for 4 of us, so we each payed 20, not terrible. I converted $300 and got about £160 in exchange just to start off with. I’m finally in my room. Its not bad, there's a bathroom and a bedroom and an extremely tiny kitchen. I don’t plan on doing a ton of cooking to be honest. Faryn, Steve, and Randy just left to go to startbucks even though it is about 5 AM in our minds (actually 10 AM here), but I choose to stay in and sleep since I haven't gotten any. I need to get a pay as you go phone at some point soon. For now I’m going to relax and try to sleep as much as possible. Until next time <3!
