I went back to San Antonio for training and then the DC area to see Corey's family a few weeks ago. I had so much fun seeing my in-laws! I married into such a great family and am so lucky that they like me too. I got to visit, eat, relax and see how much all the kids have grown. They are all so cute and so much fun.
I flew in Wednesday, went back to work Thursday then left for London Friday night. There is a really inexpensive airline here called Ryan Air and I scored tickets for 16 euro each way. You really can't say no to that. The only thing with Ryan Air is that they charge for every little thing so you have to go prepared. Forgot to print out your boarding pass? That'll be 30 euro. Have a bag that is larger than a small backpack? That'll be 40 euro. And so on. I made sure to wear as many clothes as possible, packed my bag, printed my boarding pass and drove to Holland to meet up with some friends.
We had an easy, no hassle trip and London was way better than I imagined. Well, I imagined crappy weather and I was right, but I had no idea how nice everyone is there. It might be the friendliest place I've ever been. I got to see Spamalot in the West End, we went to the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, saw the Royal Jewels, ate fish and chips, rode the Underground, heard our hotel neighbor having wild, unabashed monkey sex at 3 am and ate at an amazing Indian restaurant in Soho. A pretty successful two day trip.
I want to go back this summer and see Billy Elliot, Let it Be and The Book of Mormon. I'll wear the same clothes for a week if I get cheap tickets like that again.
