Off on a new adventure

Hello again blogosphere. I am, at this moment, sitting on my bunk in Equity Pointe Hostel in London, ready to start my next adventure. This time around I've brought my own computer so hopefully I won't be such a slave to internet cafes.
We've already had a relatively eventful journey. Steph and I decided that we didn't need to double-check that our flight was on time when we left Calgary, and upon our arrival at the YYC we discovered that we had been delayed until 6pm. Great. How exciting. Steph's parents had dropped us off 2 minutes before this discovery, but sadly they didn't bring their cellphones with them (clearly they've yet to put the "crack" in "Crackberry") so we found ourselves stuck at the oh so thrilling Calgary airport. We had an exhaustive wander around the non-security side, hit 2 separate coffee shops, and used our $10 meal voucher on a margarita and lunch at some airport restaurant. Several hours and half our books later we meandered thru security and got mildly pissed up at the Chili's by our departure gate. Once we finally boarded, an announcement came on telling us that one of our fellow passengers had indeed waited all day to board this flight and at the last minute "decided not to fly with us today" so they had to dig through all the luggage to find his bag, leaving us sitting on the tarmac for another 40 minutes. So our 6am arrival in London soon became Steph and I finally hitting our hostel around 3pm after we got our baggage and took the train into the city. By this point we were STARVING because the 2oz. blueberry muffin and 1/2 a cup of coffee we'd been given for "breakfast" 8 hour prior had been completely burned through some hours ago. So we dropped our bags and headed to the first pub we found for a couple of pints of Strongbow, meat pie for Steph, and fish and chips for me. We barely made it back to our hostel before we passed out facedown in our bunks for a solid 3hr nap, but not wanting to be jetlagged we dragged ourselves out of bed for a late dinner and a couple of hours of wandering around the area by our hostel. This area is quite posh, as they say. Every other car is an Audi or BMW and we are surrounded by whitewash houses and massive maple trees. Its nice because we felt completely comfortable walking around at night with minimal direction in mind.

Tomorrow we're having a big ol' touristy day. Its supposed to be nice tomorrow and rainy on Tuesday so we're going to do all the outside/walking stuff like the Tower of London, etc. and then the museums and indoor things on Tuesday. Tomorrow night we're also meeting up with Jenny and Rosie, my two former roomates from Australia, so that should be a nice catch up and perhaps a debaucherous evening. Off to bed for us now, big day ahead!
