A First Class Launch

Actually, factually, it was a 

Business Class launch to my fab trip!

I used all my AAdvantage miles from here to eternity

and borrowed some from my kids

so that I could make a 10 hour plus flight without

freaking out.

(If you remember, I use the excuse that I might be

claustrophobic in coach!)

I met my SW Bank group at the airport, since

they depart from Camp Bowie.

I got a sandwich and took it to our gate.

Hmmm.  I was the only one of our group there.

Then I got a call from our fearless leader, Kay Baker.

They were in the Admiral's Club!

I didn't even know my ticket entitled me to

wait there!!!

So...I hid my sandwich and my big Orange Crush

and stepped up in the world!!!

  

What's really unbelievable, however--

I didn't take any pictures!!!

So unlike me.
I did get the big ol' 777.

 

Neither did I get a very good photo

 of our hotel in London, the Grange St. Paul's.

 

If I could join these two photos together, 

the result would still be...

pretty pathetic!

But I did get a good shot of the flowers which

greeted us upon entering!

REAL flowers!

 

Here are Kay, (center) Linda, and I all settled in for

fish and chips!

 

Only problem--not served here!

So we moved on, picked up Sharon and Tom, 

 and

Yum yum.  Authentic fish and chips in London!


I hope all the members of our group had been
to London before, because
our visit there was strictly the pre-show activity.
This is the only landmark we saw, and it was
within two blocks of our hotel.

This is St. Paul's Cathedral
(hence the name of our hotel--Grange St. Paul's)

I had to be reminded that this is where
Charles and Diana were married!
We got to go inside and hear a choir singing.
It was beautiful,
but no pictures allowed!


Actually, we did see this bridge, too:



My problem: I don't know which one it is!
I'm sure it's impressive, though! 

Something Cute and Londonish!

Something pretty

And a hint as to where we're heading!

 

Night night.  Sleep tight.

Tomorrow's a big day!!!
