We've arrived!

I've decided I'm sold on daytime flights to London.  We left on time at 8:40 in the morning, arriving at 9pm local time, which was great, especially for someone who has never been able to sleep on a plane.  

By the time Rick, Ed, and I arrived at the ACO Guest House it was 11, so we stopped for a pint at the Metropolitan (the pub on the corner), walked up the street to order a pizza at Top's (the only food we could get that time of night), and were in bed by 12:30.  So the jet lag this morning wasn't too bad!

I never cease to be amazed at how well we Anglicans connect across the miles.  When we went downstairs for breakfast this morning we ran into Bishop Carol Gallagher and her husband - what a treat to see a familiar face from back home!  

Rick, as those of you who know him know, has never met a stranger.  He instantly made friends with Gordon, the bartender at the Metropolitan, which got us invited to a Barbeque tonight. Should be fun!

Here's a pic of us at just prior to catching our cab for JFK - it's a little fuzzy, but hey - it's 6am! Thanks, Ann, for taking our picture...
