First stop... Heathrow

It's here the 1st of July is here. The first official day of the trip!

It started fairly civilised...ly. A reasonable 7am start with showers, coffees and a quick chat with mark and vicky before they left for work and we left ladened down with the surprisingly heavy backpacks. Looking like matching his and hers turtles in
blue and pinkwe set off.

I could feel the hatred from other commuters as we got the tube, I chose to see it as jealousy rather than them having to navigate around the monster luggage! Luckily as soon as we got the Piccadilly line we joined a whole host of people making the same route to Heathrow(BABY).

So we have just checked in, said ta'ra to our bags, gone through security and had a loo break. Now we are waiting for our breakfast in a overcrowded bar/cafe in Terminal 3 Heathrow (with rounded knives... Silly airport) and it still just doesn't feel real.

The magnitude of what we are about to do has NOT sunk in. I'm not sure when it will, I think it's because having never been to America before I have no idea what to expect. I just I've also shoved the trip to the back of my mind as I have had
ALOTof other things on my mind, like being unemployed, moving to Cardiff and cleaning for what felt like an eternity to ensure we get the deposit back (vital money we need to live on when we get back!!) I've been trying to not get to excited because generally then I find it really hard to sleep.

Christmas Eve is the worst... I know Santa isn't real ( or is he ) but Christmas is too exciting to accidentally sleep through!!! What if you miss it?

So it's been put out of my head.....

Foods here.

I just paused for the most anaemic breakfast I've ever had... It was pretty gross. I had bubble and squeak that just tasted like old food. It was gray...Why can airport restaurants get away with having sucky food! And why hasn't Jamie Oliver revolutionised it yet?! He's done it everywhere else pretty much. I begrudge paying this bill.

1 hour until take off. Two flights. Hope we don't lose our bags aha. Not funny.

Anyway so to summarise... We are at the airport and it doesn't feel real.

Love you all, wish us luck on our flights.
