Bon Voyage!

Welcomed by drizzle! Well, I have arrived in Stansted, England with my husband and we are awaiting the arrival of our two kitties. They are being driven by the pet chauffeurs, but unfortunately although they were coming to the same place at the same time, they were booked on a flight to Heathrow instead of Gatwick airport. So the entire time that we thought the cats were on our flight we could have just checked their information and noted that their flight was slightly different. So needless to say that when the pilot came on saying they had to check on the 2 live animals on our flight after a slight delay on the ground, we were very worried about someone else's animals and not really our own pussycats! Other than that, the flight was fine, food good, movie choices not so bad and I slept a lot and had odd dreams whether from the stress of leaving my homeland or from the Dramamine. We also sat next to an English woman who had been living in the US for 50 years but thought I might still enjoy England. All in all it was a good journey especially because we were flown over by my friend who is a flight attendant for Continental Airlines who made sure we were comfortable. So I haven't done much yet except have a little nap and a little nibble on some Ryvita (rye crisp bread) and had a cup of tea of course! Well, hoping the boys arrive soon! That's all for now.

Hey Mariss,

Glad you and Tim got to England safely. You left in time, as we're supposed to have Hurricane Hannah hit us tomorrow. Well, keep us posted, and make sure you put up some pics when you can :)

Happy to hear you got to England safely! Looking forward to hearing all about your life in England! I can't believe you are there feels like just yesterday you were talking about it that you and Tim would be moving.
