In between days

Well, one half of us is getting all settled in and acclimated to life in London, whilst the other half of us has entered stage 2 of getting to London in the first place--unpacking and repacking all of her clothes (and some of her husbands) in rural Louisiana. This is not as easy as it sounds, believe me, especially when the goal is not to have to pay anything extra for luggage on the flight over.

The upside of being in rural Louisiana, unpacking and repacking many seasons' worth of clothes, is that I am getting to spend some quality time with family and catch up on much needed sleep. But the countdown has begun and in T minus 4 days, I will be able to post some pictures of our first London adventures together and, instead of hearing about how awesome London is from a different time zone, I will be able to talk about how awesome it is myself! Jim reports that the parks are beautiful and everywhere, the tube is easy to use, the architecture is incredible and old, and that he has walked more in the past couple of weeks than he did in about a year in Texas. Also, that the food isn't bad at all.

I can't wait!
