We have enjoyed London thus far and here are some highlights you might want to learn more about...
#1-- Our bus driver from Baltimore waved/flashed lights/ honked at every other bus on 95 to indicate his bus driver solidarity. It did not matter that we were in a hurricane(according to two students), driving 70 miles per hour, and reaching rush hour traffic.
#2-- Big mistake to put someone on the plane with tourette's. Sitting a few rows behind Harvey was a young man who had the twitches "Neal," "Hey," and best of all "HELP!" 7 hours and 650 Helps later everyone was glad to get him off the plane, especially the crew.
#3-- Yesterday was a haze for everyone, but one student actually fell asleep in his Thai rice, earning him the "Shuffle off to Buffalo Award."
#4-- Half the group is on a smoking floor, but we have been informed by the teenage hotel staff that, "It is technically not a smoking room if no one in the room is smoking at the time." Clare and Karen had to have the room deionized...really!
#5--One student described our group as "Half of this group is crazy and half are just way out there." True indeed!
#6-- The Delphi Heat index awards for the last three days go to...
Day One -- Karen standing outside of the running bus, checking Passports, in the hot Richmond sun, for 45 minutes while everyone else got on and off multiple times.
Day Two-- Karen and Clare's Room
Day Three-- Anywhere in the British Museum(except the entry way)
Other awards of note:
"Harvey Hates You" The three women who did not realize that they have only paid to be in a triple for the ENTIRE trip(they hate each other and have been complaining about it and everything else from the moment we got on Staples Mill)
"Poor Planning Award" 'Sarah' who came to Europe with no cash and credit cards that don't work
"I helped you award"-- Karen for purchasing 'Sarah' a phone card to get some MFing cash across the damn pond...now
"Becky Groves Memorial Meal"-- Tomato and Brie Sandwich-- 5 pounds

OMG! This is great! I love the Delphi Heat Index Award! Miss you all!
Keep the posts coming. I'm glad you guys got there safely. Over the past three days, I think I've said, "I wish I could call Harvey and tell him this..." about 15 times. Is "Sarah" SK? If so, too funny. Have fun.
I can't wait until Karen wins the "bitch-slapped a teenager" award....
I have been looking forward to getting my internet reconnected just so I could read the blog! I'm living vicariously through you all while unpacking lots of boxes!
