Day of traveling. We got all our stuff together then made the fun journey down the stairs and then down the road to the bus stop. The bus was there when we got there so we didn't have to wait around. When we got the Heathrow Stacy snagged a couple of trolleys for us - which made our lives much easier. The airport was pretty packed. There were people everywhere sleeping on mats and suitcases and tucked away in every little corner. There were staff at all entrance...

So Stacy got to Brighton around 5:45 am. She was a little clueless with directions but I found her okay. We slept in this morning - needless to say she was tired. We went to the Brighton Pier where we played a bunch of the arcade games, all of which were pretty cheap in comparison to arcades at home.

Now many of the people from EPA and NYU who are stranded in London don't have flights out until Wednesday-Friday.

So when I woke up Stacy had switched to a later flight because hers was cancelled. One of the workers knocked on my door twice and came into the flat around 10, turning all the lights on and making it very difficult to go back to sleep. Clearly Marc never told them that I was staying until 2 - not surprised. So after getting delayed until 2, Stacy's flight (the only remaining British Airways flight from Barcelona to London) was cancelled. When I left the flat sh...
