Day 1

I'M BACK! And I've been working on this blog a lot because...my circadian rhythm is screwed up... and I've got a mild form of O.C.D. and can't stand to leave something unfinished.

So, I went on a 14 day European excursion with my friend Seriza from hygiene school. We went with the tour company: Contiki, an Australian tour company that designs tours specifically for the 18-35yr old age-range. Now... to me, this meant that we'd be doing fun things (you know, whitewater rafting, shopping in fun areas, etc)...little did I know it meant ALCOHOL.

Seriously. Every night. EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Many people went out and drank til they passed out. It was... pretty unbelievable. To each their own, right?

Okay, here we go:
Las Vegas to St. Paul, Minnesota:

We left Las Vegas at around 2pm and landed in St Paul around 8:30pm (central time). Our flight from St. Paul to London Hethrow Airport (LHR) left at 9:45pm so we had to book it to the next gate and made it with 15 minutes to spare (VERY nerve wracking).

Then... at 9:45pm, we got on a plane headed for LHR... but were stalled on the ground for 2 hrs :|

Finally at 11:40pm, we took off to England. :)
