May 1st

This is a post I wrote May 1st, but it didn´t work.

Hello all!

If it weren't for all of the planes outside the window, I'd think I was in Chinook mall. There are so many shops here! There is one just for chocolate... yum! (Luckily I am able to resist it so far...) I have another hour to wait before my trip to Berlin. The flights here were really good, and the supper and breakfast on the flight to London were quite gourmet! Sweet and sour chicken stir-fry with ice-cream, and then croissants and fresh fruit for breakfast! Who knew Air Canada had good food in their repertoire?

London-Heathrow was huge! I had to take a 4 minute train ride to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4! Their were also a lot of shops there, but what was really annoying is that you didn't know what gate you had to be at until 40 minutes before your flight left! It was a 25 minute walk from one end to the other, so I stayed near the middle until I knew where to go. The food was so expensive! 4 pounds for a ham and cheese sandwich? That's like $8!

Well I thought I'd buy some internet time and let you know that although I've had only 4 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours, I seem to be doing well so far. The signs are mostly in English so I haven't gotten lost yet. (Pray that it stays that way!) I love you all, and I can't believe I'm here already!
