I MADE IT! :)
The flight to London on the Air Canada Bowing 767 was smooth but loud! I watched Maid of Honour and a Indie Canadian film on the way. I tried to sleep but there was many screaming kids and that was impossible. Everyone on the flight was either 65 and older or was 30 with small children! The food was pretty good, and I was excited because they had tomato juice to drink :)
I was very suprised with London's Heathrow Airport. It wasn't nearly as nice as any other airport I've been to. The lady at customs gave me a 30 minute quiz on what I was going to be doing, but the let me in :) I had to take the Heathrow express to the central train station in London called London Padinton. IT's HUGE....like 3 times the size of Edmonton's airport. I was asking everyone for directions! But I made it on the train to Edinborough (eventhough I drifted off to sleep and almost missed it...thankgoodness I heard a 'tickets miss?'
Dylan met with me at the train station. And we went out with some people from the hostel...a canadian, australian, german, and ment lots of locals and had fun! We got home at about one am and had a great sleep. This hostel is beautiful.
Love you, Miss You,
Mal

Hello Darling
Hi Mallory. So glad to hear that you made it. It took me about 3 months to put up pictures on my blog. Hopefully you are a little more on the ball then I was. I will be cheering for the Riders for you while you are gone. Cheers! Sarah
