I'm dying!
Our flight on British Airways was as good as it could be. Ed had upgraded our seats to World Traveller Plus (GREAT idea) so our seats were wide and comfortable with lots of leg room. The flight was a little over 6 hours. We watched the movie Lincoln which we thoroughly enjoyed and had another meal on the plane--we eat very well!
However, I did not sleep one bit and I AM EXHAUSTED. I have been awake for 26 hours. Our friend Jane picked us up at the Heathrow Airport to take us to her home in Northwood for a week. Since Jane makes this trip twice a year she is a seasoned traveler and assures us that you need to stay awake as long as possible so your body clock will catch up.
Within 2 hours I succumb and HAVE to get to bed. There are plans for dinner tonight with the neighbors and I'll be the angry American if I don't nap soon. I'm given 2 to 3 hours to sleep but can't sleep more then that I'm told.
I may even now survive! I slept less then three hours and have begun to feel human again. While I was napping, Ed & Jane went to a park for a nice walk along a canal. They even met people who live on their boat in the canal for a few months each year. They were invited on to see what the accommodations are like. Ed took some pictures and thinks it looks nice. Then they picked up a few things at the local grocery store so we are now all ready to go out to lunch.
We head over to Ye Olde Greene Manne in Batchworth Heath not too far from Jane's house. Great choice. Good food. Good company. Great to be here!
