Where do I begin for my first travelogue entry?!  For starters......I have made it to my hostel....with everything I left Canada with.  For those who don't know, I was a little unorganized for my Saskatoon to Toronto departure as I had to ask my sister (from the airport) if she would mind making a stop to pick up my flight tickets and my passport before she came to see me off!  But don't worry.....I'll be a little more organized now that I don't have anyone to help me out!

It is 10:52am London time (03:52am Saskatoon time) and I am not able to check-in until 12:30.  I am a little tired as I was not able to get much sleep on the plane (you just can't make some kids stop screaming) but after a shower I plan to tour around and find the office where I have my meeting tomorrow morning at 10:30am.

I had a very nice British woman seated beside me on my flight from Toronto to London.  She was giving me some advice on the people in this country.  Number 1 - people are not polite like they are in Canada.  Number 2 - You rarely greet anyone, anywhere unless they are a tourist.  Number 3 - Be pushy!  Especially when attemping to get on the tube!  She said people never wait for you to get off before they start pushing their way on to get a seat!  I had one nice fellow tell me all about his fun night out and how he was woken up on the train that he had been passed out on since the wee hours.  He was a little stinky with the alcohol sweating out of his skin but worse off he was using 'chew'.  YUK!

What else can I say.  I probably don't smell to sweet myself and I still have to wait 1 1/2 hours before I can check in!  I think it's time to grab a bite and maybe that will give me a little energy!

Cheers and I will attemot to start putting photos on my web soon!
