Bon Voyage!

As I sit here watching my flight get delayed from the original time of 8:35pm to 1am, 2:10am and the latest now at 3:10am, I figured, I may as well start the travel blog I've been thinking about. I can't say I will be very good at updating this once I actually cross the pond, but for right now here it is!

I will be studying abroad here:

Literally, inside of Big Ben. Just kidding. But I will be in London, and hopefully getting to see Big Ben and take a ride in the London Eye (the Ferris wheel behind the building on the left), and on one of those double-decker buses (on right. Okay I hope everyone knows what a bus looks like).

I actually will be living here:

Fancy no? 

37 Hyde Park Gate here I come! I'll be living right on the border of Hyde Park in Kensington borough, and *hopefully* will have some royal sightings since Prince William and Kate are living Kensington Palace, located in Hyde Park. 

Overall I am incredibly excited, and just a little nervous (okay kind of a lot nervous, but this is my first time out of the country!). Having the experience of spending the summer in New York City I think will help me out this time around, as I feel much more confident in my ability to travel. 

I have a check list of sights and places I want to see saved in my word docs. Since I was told that my classes are going to be 50% in the classroom, 50% travel (plus no class on Fridays... SWEET!) I think I should be able to check off many of those. I'm all packed, and now just hoping my flight doesn't get delayed until 4am.

More to come!!! :)
