Well I managed to squeak into the UK without any issue. Apparently they allow anyone to immigrate into their country :-) Got my passport stamped after answering some tough questions (what are you doing here, how long you staying). It's a bit odd being in this direction of the timezone, normally if I'm anywhere it's California and my Honeymoon was in Hawaii back in 2001, but being at GMT+0 is a bitch.

Everyone is sleeping! I got an IM when I woke up at 7am but it was from someone in NYC who was just up late. Shit, it was only midnight in Cali a few hours ago. However, since I live in New Hampshire I was able to stay up till midnight here talking with the kids on Skype (with video) and they were still awake.

Man, London...glad I don't have to drive, this place is like organized chaos. It's about as tough to navigate as Boston (maybe worse) and everyone is driving backwards :) Of course the Taxi seems to have no problem driving around town thank goodness.

Unfortunately my peso's don't do good around here (translation: US Dollar). Gotta love withdrawing 100 pounds from the bank and seeing a charge of 195 USD on the account :-| It's like I live in a third world country :-)

Anyway, gotta go prep for a business meeting. Have good sleeping for everyone else on the other side of the pond.
