Not quite there yet!

After 12 hours on a plane we made it to London. We sat on the plane at the gate in JFK for 5 hours before it took off. At first it was mechanical delays and then the plane had to be de-iced three times!!!! So frustrating---specially since the airline will not pay the hotel bill claiming it was all weather related. We arrived in London at noon and after waiting on lines for 2 hours we were told no more flights today! So we are making the best of it--- we are staying at the Sofitel Hotel (very nice) which is located in the British Airway terminal. I couldn’t wait to take a shower.

We have a 930 am flight which gets us to St. Pete Monday at 4pm. Everybody please keep your fingers crossed that our agency can get us another appointment to meet with the Ministry of Education early this week so we can get the ball rolling on the whole process. Our appointment was for Monday.

Thanks to Cary again for coming to the rescue and contacting the agency for me. I have varied cell service here. I can call certain NY phone numbers but not all. Don’t know what that is all about.

Anyway- we are off to dinner- we might take the underground into London. I guess we have to wait 1 more day to meet baby B—we’ve waited 3 years- what is 1 more day—right??? Ugh!!!

Toodles,
Jodi
