London!

I will have a photo post shortly. Brief snapshots of the trip thus far:

Maple Leaf Lounge = awesomeness.  We got to the airport with plenty of time on Christmas Day; dinner was cream of chicken soup, bread, and salad, with fruit juice.  Dinner on the plane, two hours later, was a so-so curry with really awful chutney.   Sleep didn't really happen in very large chunks, but I did close my eyes.  I dreamed of DDR.

Breakfast on the plane was frozen fruit, a frozen juice box, and a bagel and cream cheese. 

Breakfast at the arrival Maple Leaf Lounge was super, and it included a shower, which is the best feature a post-flight breakfast could offer.  I am going to miss [personal profile] melted_snowball's Super Mondo Elite status when it goes away.  To everything turn turn turn.

We turned in at the hotel for a nap, went for coffee near Picadilly Circus, and then we split up. The very first thing I ran into was "Funland", a bowling-alley / movie theatre / video games gallery near Piccadilly Circus. I was quite surprised, on my way in, to see a woman go flying thorough the air past the escalator.  Some sort of bungee-jumping slingshot thing. 

Hm, they're kicking me out of the hotel lounge.  I'll continue later, I suppose.
