Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore

Before boarding our first plane, Mary Frances and I said a prayer to St. Christopher for safe travels and we are so grateful that he stuck by our side. We had flawless flights and no problems getting from the Heathrow airport to Nido, our dorm. The day was low key. We unpacked then headed to Oxford Circus where we did some shopping and had a delicious dinner in a little Italian restaurant. After grocery shopping and taking 20 minutes to figure out how to turn on the shower, I fell fast asleep basically before my head hit the pillow. It was 23:16! There's so many little things like that to get used to and I absolutely can't wait.

This is my side of the room that I share with my fabulous friend, Jenny!  We have a kitchenette and a large bathroom plus a great view of King's Cross from our window.  It already feels like home!
