The trip across the pond

Arrived London about 6:15 am after a nine hour trip. It then took about 2 1/2 hours to get to the hotel. Leaving at noon on day one and arriving at 6 in the morning on day 2 does give your body an experience but as luck would have it (or an unbusy hotel) when I checked in I got a room immediately. That was an invitation to crash and I did for about 4 hours. It seems like I lost a whole day - not just 8 hours.
