Day 1 - We're off!

The day finally came and we're off on our great european adventure. Jo Anne left from Lubbock and I met her at DFW airport where we boarded our non-stop flight to London Heathrow.

Almost there 

Were about to land and it's 3:33 am in Texas 

On the Heathrow express headed into London 

Arriving at Paddington station - we went to the ticket booth to get our two together rail card which saves us 30% on all train tickets and some buses. Then we located the "luggage left" to store our bags while we explored London and rode the hop on/hop off bus.

It's back to Paddington station to catch the train to Moreton-in-Marsh, about an hour and a half by train then a 20 minute taxi. Finally, after 38 hours we will get to go to bed.
