Trip to England

Hi All.  I was just reading about all of the problems caused by the snow and wind storm in the north east(of the USA), 2010.  Jake and I have it good compared to those problems.  My age is really showing by my attitude for travel.  So, that may exagerate my comments on this subject.  I'm not used to life in a big city.  You must be able to use the public transit(so far subway and busses).  It's not really that difficult, but it was for me.  Jake thought it was kinda fun.  Thank God I had him for a son.  He's been planning our routes.  When the subway(the Tube over her) was shut down, we switched to busses.  Everyone else did too.  Do you like jammed busses or trains?  Then this is for you. 

When travelling the luggage may get lost.  Slight inconvenience? Well, don't let it ruin your vacation.
Be a good sport.  You may not be able to use your credit card as you have planned.  Minor.

Many things went right!

Jake had only one pair of underwear and socks. Christmas morning, we opened gifts my wife had sent. One pair boxer shorts(marvelous) two t-shirts(wonderful) two pair socks(perfect).  My, how one appreciates the little things when in need.

The apartment(flat here) had no coffe maker that we had noticed.  Emma sent along a gift of coffee.
Jake found a french press. Yeah, we now have coffee.

I saw some genuine London Fog tonight.  We ate dinner with Ricky and Rowan, old camp friends of Jakes.  No problems tonight.
