Let’s Go To London!

We have been planning for this trip since last June and we are finally going to London! The kids were really excited to visit London and we set off to the airport to meet our travelling family. Mike has been friends with hubby since their poly days and we are really happy to keep in touch with him and his family.

Our kiddos were so happy to see Mike and family and all smiles at the airport on a very early Saturday morning. After checking in our luggage and immigration, we went to have our breakfast and we were all excited about the trip. Last minutes confirmation on the place and how to get to our apartment were some of our conversation over breakfast.

Our flight to London was pretty much full but we were glad that we had our seats booked way advanced. The 13 hrs 40 minutes was pretty tough for our Lady Faith as she threw out over 5 times onboard and didn’t have any appetite. We were really grateful to the flight steward who came over several times to check on Lady Faith and providing top service to us. Thumps UP Singapore Airlines.

I couldn’t sleep onboard but managed to doze off for about a good 45 minutes while the rest of the time I was watching movies and chatting with Mike and family who were seated right next to where we sat.

After a super long flight, we finally arrived safely in London Heathrow Airport. Our energy was almost drained but we were somehow lightened up when we stepped out of the immigration. Our driver was on time and we set off to the city for our apartment. Woohoo!!!

It took us about an hour to arrive at our destination and after waiting in the cold (12 degrees) for about 10 minutes for the representative, we finally checked in to our apartment. The apartment was alright though it wasn’t as luxury as advertised but it was acceptable to some point. 

We freshened up ourselves and almost ready to head out to meet Maggie who was in London since last week. Lady Faith suddenly cracked up and told us that she isn’t feeling too well and wished to stay home instead. I was worried about her and decided to stay with her while hubby went off to have dinner with Maggie and family.

We are really lucky to have Mike as our travelling mates as he is such a fantastic chef. Though it was last minute that we will stay home for dinner, he managed to whip up some simple dinner for everyone in just an hour. Thumps Up! Now, all we need is a good rest before our adventure begins tomorrow.
