"Silver Jet, Way Overhead..."

Well we did it!! We bought our tickets!!

Wow, I am really psyched now, this is the first really big investment of our trip. The packs were expensive but could be used for other purposes. The tickets well they are a lot more, and they can only be used for one thing. The departure date is Monday May 28 and we come back the 13th of August.

The flight over is a night flight; we leave at 10:45 and arrive at 8:35 local. The flight time is 5hrs50min, but with the time change we arrive latter. I like the idea of arriving in the morning, as we will be able to see London as we come in, and we might be able to get some sleep on the way over (doubt it), and will let us have a full day right from the start. The flight back lands at 2:25, so that is pretty decent as well, will hopefully be able to get home the same day. It will be a full day, but we will be use to long days by then.

You can see our seats in the picture below. They seats are both closer to the back; I didn’t want to sit to close to the wing as it might obscure our view. Melanie has the window seat on the way over. I remember flying over London on the way home we went into Gatwick Airport and I got a beautiful view of London and it is something I will always remember, so I wanted to make sure Melanie has the same chance I did, to see Tower Bridge as you are coming in for landing.
I can’t wait, and I know Melanie can’t either. It is taking the big steps that really get you excited.
