Rome 1: the flight over & England

Last night, 3 planes, 27 hours & a sleepless night in London's Gatwick airport, I arrived in Kansas City. Luke picked me up and we immediately hit up Chili's for a burger (Sadly, it's true. I wanted a burger and Chili's somehow was what I wanted. Luke laughed at me, but was gracious about the whole experience).

I don't really know what to share or where to begin with this trip, so I've decided to share it in a few installments...



To save some cash, I decided to fly over to London and then catch a regional airline to Rome, EasyJet (think Southwest airlines with annoyingly-bright orange clad flight attendants). As a result, I had an 8 hour layover on my way to Rome.... and a 12 hour on my return (more in a latter post). Rather than spend a lame afternoon at the airport's Starbucks, I spontaneously took a train into London to take a look around.



Though not entirely sure what I saw, it was a great afternoon; definitely the right way to start the trip. Here are a few of my favorite pictures...
