London trip recap

What a whirlwind week.. a few days after coming back from Hawaii, took off to London for a trip for work. It was nice on the flight out to be in Economy Plus.. the extra inches of leg room make a pretty big difference and it was good that it was a direct flight.

While there, did some pretty important stuff like:

- Saw a sight here and there. Didn't have a lot of time between work to catch some places, but did manage to go on the London Eye, which is a fancy slow ferris wheel, but we did get a nice view of the Thames.





- Ate some good food. I'm more used to finding good places that are holes in the wall but have really good cheap food, but the wining and dining was not bad.

- Bought the new Harry Potter book an hour after it was available. In retrospect, I could have read and blogged about it before it was available back home, but I was too tired to read :) It's pretty good, but JK is definitely getting darker as she goes. Instead of one of the children's covers, elected for the "adult version"



On the way back, we ran late on our connection in NYC. Scheduled to have an hour or so to switch planes, we got in a half hour late, slogged through the immigration line, ran to another terminal, got through security again, and then to the farthest gate, but luckily they held the plane.

When we finally made it back, partook in the draining 2nd round of the SHHNHB. For those of you who want to get a leg up on the competition, go dominate Microsoft Hearts a little bit... in my boredom on the way home:
