Just touched down in London town




Greetings Trolls-


After spending four lovely days and three eventful nights in the UK's capital city, we're stuck in the airport for 24 hours. As bad as it sounds its given us a chance to slow down and reflect on our experience thus far - aka start this blog.


We breezed around London, sightseeing and enjoying several foamy soy lattes (fyi its called SOYA here, not soy) and the occassional adult beverage in the evening. We lucked out weather wise, well at least compared to Chicago, and got a chance to see the sun everyday, including the first day after waking up around 1p, thanks JetLag.


We are especially excited to finally touch down in our new home AMSTERDAM. After months of planning, weeks of packing, days of goodbyes and hours of waiting, we finally will be home and able to unpack and unwind!


Togo says hi (on the table), though he's tired of sleeping in a suit case, especially now that its a bit tighter since we had to take stuff out of our checked luggage and put it in his carry-on with him to get our bags from 31 kilos to 23.


So from Gatwick Airport we say hello and goodbye, off to try to get a few hours of sleep and not over sleep our 3p flight later today!
