My Wild and Crazy Adventure

My name is Megan and I just finished my junior year as a Communication major at the College of St.  Scholastica. I wanted to go on this trip to London to see and learn about more than I have been exposed to in my northern United States upbringing.  Before this trip I had never been to another country and soon I will be able to say that I've been to three!!!!

My trip to London was very eventful,  and that was just the literal getting to London part of the trip. I started off my journey smoothly in St Paul/Minneapolis airport. I flew through security and got onto the plane easily. 

When I stopped for a layover in Chicago the problems started.  My flight to Philadelphia was delayed by two hours and this worried me because I had to catch the flight to London soon after we landed in Philly.  All the staff told me it would be fine,  but, as it turns out,  we landed too late for me to catch my original flight. My phone bar dotted on the plane,  so I'd I would have had to run to my connection they're would have been no way to let my family know what was going on.  Luckily they put me on a flight two hours later.  It seemed like the crisis had been averted,  but once I arrived in London I realized my checked bag did not arrive in London with me. 
So now I sit in this beautiful city without anything except what I was carrying with me, but despite it all I am so excited to be here and I can't wait to see what happens next. I have gotten three hours of sleep in the past day and still I feel a little motion sick from the last leg of the trip,  but I know that this is exactly where I want to be. 

The pub we went to for dinner was fabulous and the fact that it was one of our two free dinners made it even better. I felt a little overwhelmed by not knowing any streets or buildings, but I loved the busy energy! 

 I am excited to write my next two blog posts and see if London is as wonderful as it already seems. I am so excited for what's to come!!
