9 Days to Departure
I am pretty sure that by Friday my co-workers will want to kill me for saying, "By this time next week I will be...". And it will just get progressively worse as next week rolls by. Oh well, I'm going to London!
Matt, Patrick and I will leave SLC next Friday morning around 10 in the morning. We have a bit of a layover in Atlanta, plenty of time to get through the international terminal and all the extra security they will most likely have for those heading over to the UK. We are scheduled to land around 10:45 the next morning at Gatwick.
We had dinner with our friends from London last night to figure out when we are going to be meeting up for drinks (the boys' main concern) and if we should plan any other outings while we are there together. We didn't get too much accomplished, but I think we got enough to satisfy the fanatic planner in me.
I'll start packing tonight. It's never too early and I really want to make sure I have every thing I need. Wish me luck!

I hope you can tour the British Museum--it truly is magnificent! The London Eye is fantastic, too! I had a clear day, and the panoramic view of Big Ben (at the Eye's peak, you are almost face level with Big Ben), Houses of Parliement, the River Thames, is beyond gorgeous! Take lots of film, and/or make sure your digital has plenty of memory. London has some of the best architecture I have ever seen...I was constantly looking up at the buildings. The tube is cool--a cheap, and ~super~ efficient way to get to any part of the city. If you can do it, the "Sinister London" (ie, Jack the Ripper) tours are fun.
ENJOY!
