When we left Washington D.C. we flew on a one hour flight to JFK Airport in New York. Then we waited for our flight to London. When it was time to board the airplane, I got to see how big the airplane was and it was HUGE!!! They needed two doors to get into the whole airplane. We got to fly in a special section call Business Class and the airplane was a Boeing 777. That is one size smaller than a jumbo jet. It did not have two levels, but we had nice big seats with a television at each seat and lots of space.

I got to listen to the radio, watch Cartoon Network, and have dinner on the plane. The dinner was kind of good. I had pasta. We also slept on the plane, not for a long time, but about 5 hours. There would be a HUGE screen in the front of the plane that showed where the airplane was and what altitude it was and the outside temperature.

When we got off the airplane, we were still very, very tired. Once we got our luggage, which was very, very heavy, we got on a train to London’s Paddington Station. Then we got a taxi that took us to Victoria Station. When we got into the taxi, it had the guy on the opposite side of the car, driving. And on the opposite side of the road. So, I was kind of scared when we first did it, “we’re going to CRASH!”. Ha ha ha!

Also, we got to see lots and lots of double decker busses. They were red. Once we got into my Grandmother’s house, we settled in and my sister Hannah slept all the way until we needed to go to bed. We were met by my Auntie Shelley and had dinner with her and her boyfriend, David.

We then had a couple of quiet days in London to rest and catch up. We also had fish and chips for the first time. Now I know that chips are French fries.
