Trip to London & Turkey

Hey All! This is my first attempt at a blog. So, we will see how well I do with this. 

Anyways, I am on a trip to London and Turkey to visit a ministry that I work with through my job. So far it has been an amazing experience. 

I am going to try and share some of the stories that have happened thus far and keep you up to date on what is going on. 

So, on Sunday we left from Washington DC to Heathrow in London. Our flight was overnight in hopes that we would sleep and be ready to go the next day so that our jet lag would not be to bad. 

Well, they first brought us a meal, and I had requested a special non-dairy meal. They passed out all the meals and I asked about it. Well it turns out that they mixed up the seats and gave it to the lady behind me. No worries though they fixed it. But it was kind of funny. 

Well, I finally was asleep and all of the sudden I feel a tap. I open my eyes and there are earplugs being thrusted at me. It was quite startling. There was a flight attendant standing over me trying to hand me earplugs. So, Tracey who was sitting next to me took them. I was still a little dazed from being woken up. But the guy was still saying something. I couldn't understand what he was saying. So I took the earplugs from Tracey. We all looked back in confusion when all of the sudden another flight attendant came took them from me and handed them to the person in front of us. Apparently the lady in front of us asked for earplugs and he thought I had asked for earplugs. I am sure my face was quite a musing because I was half asleep when he woke me up. 

So the flight was quite amusing.  But we made it to London safely and all was good. I did enjoy the flight but wished we were in the section that had fans between each seat and reclining seats. MMMM...one day I dream of sitting there.

I am going to close my first blog. Hopefully I will write more about London soon because now I am in Turkey.
