Half Way... ish



Bad news. Our plane's first class hadn't been upgraded yet. We had to slum it the entire way here on seats that were at LEAST three years old. Truly devastating. Once we had gotten over our shock and horror, we slipped into our complimentary pyjamas and socks, and nestled in. We slept most of the way and managed to wake ourselves up for breakfast which came at about 4:00 a.m. Vancouver time. We were a little bleary but happy to be arriving in London so we could head straight for the Concorde Lounge.
One of the perks of flying first class was getting ushered straight past the snarling line of bitchy travellers waiting to go through security. SO fantastic. Even more fantastic was taking a shower once we got here. The lounge has pretty much everything you would want and everything is complimentary... showers, beds to take a nap in, wine, and fine dining.
Once we were cleaned up a bit, we decided to have a meal in the dining room (I was trying to figure out if it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner but I really couldn't tell you), you know, because we were starving... or something.
We figured we might see some stars in the lounge considering we're in London. So far, no luck. Only Kirsten Dunst. A couple more hours and we're off to Cape Town. Can't wait!

First of all, I live for your adventures (says the girl who had PB&J and a few Kirs for dinner on a Friday night (whilst wearing her best Old Navy pajamas)). Dunst in London makes sense; she totally has socialist teeth. Can't wait for the next installment.
