Arriving in London

Ok, so to start off, England apparently uses pounds instead of Euros, which can cause some problems. First, don't bother calculating how many dollars equals a pound, because in the end, all you will do is say "I paid what for a can of Coke?" Just pretend pound is a dollar and you'll be much happier.

When we reached our hotel in Kensington (this is like the richy-rich area of London), I tried the "we're on our honeymoon, gimme free stuff" question, and surprisingly, we got a free upgrade to their biggest rooms. Nice! this makes it really 1 for 2 since I tried that on the British Airways flight and the counter lady offered a 1st class upgrade for $300 instead of $2000. Not sure if I will count that as a freebee, but I'll say no.

Time-change wise, we're only about 9 hrs ahead so after red-eyeing it, we were ok in terms of sleep. nothing a boddington's can't cure...
