Day 1: London

It’s been two years since I was last in London. It feels good to be here again. London is the closest thing I have to a home east of Saskatchewan. I have family here. I know the language. My accent is just one of dozens. I can navigate the city without getting too lost. I can envision living here if a good enough reason come along. The architecture makes every walk an experience.

The long flight is definitely the biggest obstacle to coming here more often. Flying overnight makes for easy time zone adjustment, but it’s not a good sleep at all. But as far as a flight goes, a 787 with extra legroom (both Air Canada and WestJet) is about as good as it gets.

Heading for Athens now!
