Back "Home" in the United Kingdom

Top 5 places to sleep in the London Stansted airport:

Pre-Security
5. Attached Burger King seating area on cushioned chairs.
4. Detached Burger King seating area on uncushioned bench.
3. Cushioned airport benches.
Post-Security
2. A table at F&B's Deli.
1. Tmobile internet hotspot with awesome chairs.

So, after 18 hours in this lovely place of refuge, Jenny and I finally got on our plane headed for Belfast. We were welcomed by chilly but nice weather, and a warm place to sleep...peacefully and for as long as we wanted to.

I woke up this morning around 11, and am still trying to remind myself that it's  Easter Sunday. Jenny and I had a lovely lunch at The Mad Hatter...appreciative to be back in a country where we can read the menu and get free water!

Fiona (the bride) and Chris (the groom) came by Jenny's dorm a little bit ago to drop off Courtney. Everyone is gearing up for the wedding; there are many exciting times to be had! There is a tea party tomorrow morning with Fiona and her mom, and then a hen party in the evening. A hen party is the Irish equivalent to a bachelorette party, so that is sure to be a good time! Everyone is quite excited for the wedding on Wednesday. I am looking quite forward to the mini-Queens/USA reunion with Fiona, Jenny, Courtney, Rachel, Natalie, Tricia, and me. Yipee!

I am finally getting to do laundry after wearing smelly clothes for the last week, so I am off to switch my clothes to the dryer.

Love,
lvp

    Really glad you got to do laundry. Smelly would not be good for a wedding. Write about Belfast...and post pictures, ok?

  2. I can't post pictures until I get home and upload them on my computer. But don't worry; you will see them eventually! Thanks for reading. :)
