Day 1: July 3 - I have arrived!

So I've made it to London! Yay! Time of arrival 11:25am - on time, and in one piece. After all the recent plane crashes and the big O'Hare computer glitch issue, I was beginning to wonder.

I am having so much fun already. I really love it here.

First things first, on the advice of my gracious host, I had a little cat-nap. Then I was off to get a fountain diet coke and to get my travel phone unlocked. Chiswick has some great little shops. I'll have to check them out again when I have more time. Then we were off to see Forbidden Broadway at the Menier Chocolate Factory. It was fab, as expected. Lots of timely, clever references to West End shows and some oldies-but-goodies thrown in too. And I thought the theatre was a great little space. There is a restaurant too where one can eat and/or get lit before the show. Did both (obviously). Overall, a GREAT day to start my trip. Now time for bed. Looking forward to tomorrow!

The cool street the theatre was on.
