For those of you who go and view our pictures, do not worry! one of the girls has not been turned into a frog. The beautiful tree frog you see time to time during the travels is our trip mascot Penelope. She is going to be with us through the United Kingdom! Just FYI :) The other girls were too exhausted to post anything this evening, maybe tomorrow between tours? TTYL :) Cheryl

LIZZY- I am EXHAUSTED!!! We had loads of fun today, and London is AWESOME!

2010-07-28T13:50:00.000-07:00

Just got to the hotel about a few minutes ago then we arrived in London around 12 P.M. I'm havin so much fun we ate ate very great place but now its time to have more fun well talk to Y'all later ~ Inkeria

Wow, what a whirlwind day we have had. we have figured out the underground with out any major complications. (just have to remember whether we are heading northbound, eastbound etc.) It was so neat watching the girls reaction when i pointed out the top of the London eye as we stood in the lobby of the Waterloo Station. They were just speechless for a few moments, trust me only a few, then the questions started to fly are we doing this, are we doing that, can we go to the London Eye now? Can we go see this and that?? Well we made it down to the London Eye and did a ton of pictures, then on to the waterfront proper to take pictures of Big Ben, Parliment and Westminster Abbey. We walked across Westminster bridge and took many photos with Big Ben and then we headed off just to explore the streets of London (trying to find a place to eat everyone could agree on :) ) We walked up to Trafalgar square and headed past the circle and found a great Italian spaghetti shop. The food was fabulous authentic Italian. The sauces etc were just amazing. With full bellies, that was about all we could take. We walked (slowly) back to the Charing Cross station for the underground and then transferred back to good old Piccadilly Line to come back to the rooms. I cant believe the girls still hvae this much energy that they want to stay up and play on FB and enter their blogs. I am ready to go to bed. . . after a hot shower that is!
Tomorrow is another day, a very busy day. we will be heading out of the hotel around 8:30-9:00 so e can make it down for the changing of the guards. We will update everyone with more as we can. Sleep tight USA, it is 9:45 here (only 4:45 for everyone back in Georgia) We have been up most the night and looking forward to sleep Talk to everyone later :)

LIZZY- 1 hour till boarding!!!! Thanks to my new best friend the Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino, I'm extremely chipper and completely awake! I could almost hear the groans when the other passengers saw a pack of teenagers armed with Starbucks! (lol jk) Well, we'll try to be as quiet and polite as possible... but for now, back to hyper anticipation!!! Woohoo!!! xoxoxoxo ;D

2010-07-27T18:24:00.001-07:00

Finally, Sorry for the delay in updates, but we had to get to the gate and fight with wireless (which is no longer free at Atlanta International Airport, FYI)

But, I digress. We are here! We are camped out at gate E 01 waiting for our flight to London Heathrow Airport. Everyone is so excited and jumpy (starbucks didn't help). It is going to be a fun fun fun trip. We arrived at the airport, check in was a breeze, then on to the train. The girls did an amazing job train surfing! We had a wonderful dinner at TGI Fridays and headed to our gate. This will definitely be an adventure. More Later, gonna let the girls get on for a while and post some blogs of their own.

LIZZY: I can't wait until 4:00!!! I'm counting the seconds!!! I'm a little nervous and a LOT excited! I can't wait. Originally I was kind-of worried that the other girls wouldn't like me, but they're all really great. So far we're having a blast, and we're laughing like we've known each other for years. I can't believe that in less than 24 hours I will be in London!!! Gosh... it's going to be a LONG flight -- literally -- about 13 hours! Maybe a Starbucks pick-me-up at the airport? Haha, we'll see. ;D

We will hit the Atlanta Airport, get tickets, check bags, go through security and have dinner. Then it is time to prepare for the flight. We have a great group of girls and we have had fun getting to know each other all night. I cant wait for this adventure to be underway !
