Update

It's been a couple of days since I've been able to post due to the internet being down at the hotel so here's the scoop. On Tuesday we woke up and went back to our favorite London pub for an English breakfast. Of course, we put the ale chutney on everything (I have to find out where to buy it around home). We then boarded the Original London Bus Tour which is a double decker bus that takes you to all the big tourist sites around the city. It was overcast and threatening to rain the whole day. It was the first day on the whole trip where we didn't have some sunshine and most days were sunny the whole day. We stopped at St. Paul's Cathedral, the London Tower and did a cruise on the Thames River. We finished our tour with a ride on the London Eye. In the evening we went with Bryan and Nancy Heath to see Wicked. Bryan was able to score second row seats. After the show we went to Ivy, a trendy restaurant where I had Shepherd's Pie. All in all, it was a fantastic way to end the trip. This morning we climbed aboard the taxi at 7:00AM to head to Heathrow. The cab driver dropped us off at the wrong terminal so we had to get a train to the right one but we made it in plenty of time. Our plane flight to Newark, NJ was pretty empty so we had a whole row to ourselves. This plane had TV's on every seat with over 200 movies which made the seven hour flight fly by. Currently, we are waiting for our next flight to San Francisco in the Continental President's club celebrating Laura's birthday! I will post the final photos shortly.
