After a pretty uneventful flight, we arrived in London early this morning. Sleeping on the overnight flight turned out not to work too well, since there was a group of people travelling together sitting around us who had no intentions of doing any sleeping on the flight. So I think a long sleep is called for tonight. Given that we were a bit on the tired side, we didn’t do a whole lot in London today, but we did walk by Buckingham Palace and area and spent some time in Westminster Abbey (where we found the memorial to the Mr. Dryden who supplied us with the name for our blog). We also shopped for a few groceries — most notably I bought some ‘crunchy cereal’ (I take it this is the equivalent of granola) in the ‘adult cereal’ section. As far as I can tell, the cereal is pretty innocent.

Wave to the Queen…and thanks for the update of your safe, albeit tired, arrival. You two may be adults, but I am a mom forever, and knowing thus far, that all is well helps me sleep better. I look forward to your updates!
Sydney and I seem to have very different ideas of ‘traveling.’ He thinks one seeks out internet access whenever possible and blogs regularly. I think–and this is if you’re lucky–I might take a few pictures that I will post when I return home. That way, I get a chance to reflect on my trip. It may be thanks to Sydney that anything will appear on this blog in the next couple of weeks. Mom, be glad I married this man even as I curse him silently (or not so silently) for wasting my daylight!

Well, I do sort of like internet access whenever I’m still arranging lodging and such!

You’d better believe I’ll be checking my e-mail from Spain. 🙂
