Got to Love Buffalo!

Hey all,

So I am writing you from Palmers Lodge, which is located in the section of London called Swiss Cottage. Its this huge house/hotel that feels like an old dorm room. Any way, Chris and I had a great time today in London, minus losing luggage (I will get to that later).

Today we visited Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Churchill's War Museum, Museum of Natural History and the Underground. Took pictures of everything, but we still have plenty to see! I want to see Arsenal's Stadium and a few other places, maybe go up in the Eye.

So, the interesting part of this whole trip so far has been our travel to get to London. We took and 855 flight out of Boston to Toronto. First, I got sick on the plane. Two differen times I kneeled before the plastic toliet and tried to puke my brains out. Nothing happed except more turbulance. Around 1030 the Captain explains that we are going to land in Buffalo first, due to fog. At first I am happy that we can land because it gives me a few minutes to stop my stomach from getting worse. After waiting 2 hours I realized this was not going to be good. 3 hours after this incredible revilation we were finally able to take off...but did we have enough time? Yes! Some how we got on our connector and were off to London.

On the trip Chris reminded me how the attendant at the front desk had told me she had put the tag on my luggage wrong and now I wasn't going to have anything to wear for the next two weeks. The funny part is, that when we got to the luggage claim both of our back packs were missing! Some how we were lucky though in that they showed up at the hostel tonight, so we don't have worry about how we are going to travel across Europe on one set of clothes.

Anyway, that is all I have for the moment, talk to you later!
