We Made It Across the Pond!

Our flight to the UK went off without a hitch. We left on time, arrived early, and thoroughly enjoyed our Business Elite seats (thanks Delta Skymiles, American Express rewards points, and Ford & Harrison for all the business trips to earn the miles for the upgrade!). We were definitely pampered and spoiled during the journey. It was great!!! The royal treatment continued after arriving in London when we were able to grab a shower, breakfast and Internet access in the Business Elite lounge at a nearby hotel while waiting on our car service out to Southampton.


Here's a photo from our 1 1/2 hour drive from the airport in London to our Southampton hotel. It was picturesque and I enjoyed every minute of the trip. Surprisingly, Jay was the one who got car sick! We spent the day trying to stay awake and adjust to the new time zone. It was challenging! We went to bed last night at 8 pm! We just couldn't make it any longer! We did get the chance yesterday afternoon to explore a local Tesco (the UK version of Wal-mart). It was interesting to see which brands are in both countries. We determined that we are all pretty similar with our grocery needs. As in the US, there were quite a lot of pre-assembled meals and individually wrapped snacks! We also keep seeing Pizza Huts and KFCs, I guess some things are international! We board our ship later this afternoon and then spend the day tomorrow in France. I can't wait to share photos of our time at the Palace of Versailles!
