The Trip and London

As you can see Katie and I are posting so you'll get a little of both our impressions. We flew on Sunday, August 3 from Dulles on Virgin Atlantic. We were able to use FF miles and fly Upper Class. It has spoiled me forever. The seats are individual pods which make in to flat beds with mattress covers, duvets and feather pillows. They even give you a "sleep suit" if you want it.

After an uneventful flight we arrived in London where we saw so many interesting things as Katie has already described. One thing she didn't mention was the Tube or Underground. It was a wonderful way to get around. It's fast, convenient to mst of the major sights and reasonable. We paid 5.90 ounds each for a one day ticket.

We boarded the ship in Southampton yesterday afternoon and are now cruising through the North Sea. We've passed literally hundreds of oil and natural gas platforms.

More later.
