    Europe Day 1 (September 11)

    Off to Europe!
    Tim and I planned to leave arounf 11, as we were sure there would be heavy security for flights on 9/11, so I told him to call me when he left - and of course that was around 12 noon instead ;) We had quite a while before our flight, so we went to get something to eat with our moms, which involved much wandering around trying to find a place to eat that wasn't behind security (so our moms could come). Our first flight was just to Chicago O'Hare (nice back tracking, right?), and then we had about 20 minutes between flights. The plane was kinda dinky to Chicago, and at times felt like a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but oh well. Our next plane - to London (Heathrow Airport) was pretty nice. Each seat had its own monitor, and you could choose which movie you wanted to watch (or there was alsoa choice of some TV programs). I watched The Italian Job (how appropriate!), Tim watched The Transformers, and the other choice was Frida. So yeah, good flight, although I got about an hour of sleep and was real tired when we got in, which was about 3 am back home, but 8 am in London.
