We left Charlotte on June 8th late in the evening and flew into Philadelphia. The captain came on the intercom during the flight and pointed out a 20 mile wide Thunderstorm 45 miles off our left wing and 45,000 ft. high! This was awesome! My mom didn't like it very much! I also think that we were sitting beside George Clooney on the flight but he was a bit chubby and mom says it wasn't him! When we landed at 9:53pm we had 2 minutes to get to our next gate... this wasn't gonna happen!! A kind "cart" man saw my mom's face go into panic mode and he was nice enough to give us a ride and then even called ahead for a second "cart" man to finish the 10 min trip across the airport! We were the last to load onto the plane!
We arrived in London at 11:00AM (London time, 6AM Charlotte time) on June 9th. After a night of no sleep and several pockets of turbulence. We were exhausted and off to customs we went... Passports in hand we looked up and saw a real actor, Dax Shepard (pictured above) you know, the guy from Baby Mama! My mom tried to get me to get his autograph but it was way too early! Then we got our luggage and went to get a cab! We rode in what mom calls a pretty red London Taxi! The man had a model of the Concorde on his dash so of course mom had to brag about the fact that her dad flew this and she got to ride on it! He was so impressed she thinks! He was very talkative and then the fun began for me... We saw Bentley, 750LD (for diesel) a 125 coupe BMW, and a Ferrari!
We got to the hotel and checked in and mom came to the room and crashed for an hour then we got up went to eat at the Duke of York Pub, yes, we had delicious Fish N Chips! They were great! We watched cricket on the telly!
After dinner, we had to come back to the hotel and get jackets because we were freezing and... Mom had on a black shoe and a brown shoe! She thinks that I tricked her by giving her two different shoes while she was very tired... Not me! Then we walked through Hyde Park looking for the Princess Diana memorial and found many ducks, geese and Swans with babies. When we saw how much further we had to walk to get there we decided we were way too tired and headed back found a Baskin Robbins and that made us both very happy! Went to the room and went to bed!
