6/23/2016 0 Comments JFK to LHRGood news: I am writing this from my room in London. Bad news: the trip here did not exactly go smoothly. My flight left at 7:30pm from JFK. Considering the 8hr time change, I took a tylenol PM and sleep on the way as we landed in London just before 8:00am this morning (so weird). This also would have been ideal because, fun fact, flying makes me extremely anxious. Unfortunately, life happens and I couldn't sleep. On the bright side, delta offers free drinks, food, and movies. However, if that wasn't entertaining enough, there were HUGE thunderstorms coming into the UK and our plane was HIT BY LIGHTNING. So, I was certainly never bored; and it is astonishing what planes are built to withstand. When we did, of course, land safely, I then waited 2hrs to pass through customs. From there, central London is only a short Tube ride away! We were able to check into our rooms at the International Hall at 2:00pm, so I dropped off my luggage and walked around the Bloomsbury area for a few hours. Despite the storm, it is so beautiful here. I am in awe of the history that surrounds me, I can't wait to explore the city.
Tip: don't buy a drink at JFK without asking the price. I paid $2o for a bloody mary.
