Move to Sweden! First stop London...

On the 18th of August, we left Chicago O'Hare for London Heathrow. It was our last flight as standby passengers through Derek's work, and probably the worst seat arrangement we ever received. Noelle and I had to fly coach regardless, since a child under 7 isn't allowed in first class (employees only). But we were hoping that Derek would get at least business. No such luck. He didn't even get Economy Plus! I think that was a sign to move on from United...

Anyways, we arrived safely (which is what is really important) in London at 6.30 am. Flight went well and Noelle was great as always - not even a cry the whole time (maybe a little when a boy behind us would not stop crying)... We rechecked our luggage for the SAS flight. Then we headed for London, since we had a good fifteen hours layover. We had a little picknick in Hyde Park, strolled past Buckingham Palace and also made a pub start for some nice fish n' chips. We had a lovely day even though I felt like a bag lady...



Noelle waving hello to the queen outside Buckingham Palace! You can also see her six teeth!
Wellington (close to the palace)... it was a hot and sunny day!
"Streets of Philadelphia" no sorry London...
In the park for a little siesta and picknick, and a little stretch of legs for the little girl who was strapped up for quite some time!


Here comes the bag lady!
