NOTE: I wrote this yesterday while waiting for my 5 hour connection from JFK to London, Heathrow. I was picked up this morning and am having a fantastic time!
Well today was it. Flying to England.
It has been a rough couple of days packing and making sure I
see all of my family and such. Monday, Memorial Day, we had a giant BBQ in
preparation for my departure. The kids
came up and I got to see all of my uncles! Yay!

Here I am waiting in JFK with no internet bored out of my
mind. L
How is this possible!? Well I mistakenly thought that during my 5 hour layover,
I would have the Interwebs at my disposal. NO FREE WI-FI. Really Delta/KLM-JFK (the plane food was delicious though)?
So I shall tell you about my packing!
It was terrible. I cut my knee, stubbed my toe, yelled,
screamed, and hollered. But it all fits and I have everything I wanted to bring
with my carry on being heavier than expected and my suitcase being lighter.
The best way of packing I found was to roll all of my
clothes. After I set the first layer in I
found I still had an large amount of room. They weren’t lying when they told
you to roll your clothes, it really works! Fortunately, I now do not have to
worry about bringing things back to the states (within reason). It also helped
that a lot of my clothes were light and I wore the only jacket I will be taking
to England.
This morning was also an adventure. From riding in a tiny
airplane to waiting 5 hours for my connecting flight to London Heathrow.

I know I will be exhausted tomorrow when I am picked up from
the airport. I MUST FIGHT JET LAG (NOTE: I lost and had to take a nap)!
