Here is the beginning of our honeymoon adventures:
On July 10, we left El Paso,TX in the early afternoon. We flew for a total of about 12 hours and arrived in London's Heathrow Airport at 9:30 in the morning of July 11th. After passing through customs, which did take a while to get through the line, we managed to find the Adventures By Disney car service. They took us as well as two other people on the tour to our hotel - Marriott Renaissance Chancery Court in Westminster. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of traffic and road closures, so we got our first taste of London and Westminster making our way to the hotel.
We got to the hotel around noon and checked in. We also checked in with one of our Disney tour guides - Roni. She gave us free tickets to get on the London Eye (this is actually one of the things we didn't do - we were too exhausted). We tried to follow the traveler's rule of staying awake to fight the jet lag. Didn't so much happen. Andrew and I decided to take a nap and then headed out for a little walk to find some local currency. We got a good lay of the land, but had to resort to getting currency at the front desk.
That evening we had our Welcome Dinner. We went around the room introducing ourselves. In total - there were 43 people on the tour plus our two Tour guides - Roni and Eddie. The adults got more information as to each days individual activities while the junior adventurer's got to watch a movie. We all joined up to have a yummy dinner. Afterwards, Andrew and I took a little walk to get us a bit exhausted and then headed to bed.
