Oxford!

So here I am in Oxford, England, sitting by the fire in our cozy hotel. Daughter and I are both busy on our iPads, trying to stay awake. No napping allowed! We want to stay up until a reasonable, though early, bedtime.

The outside temperature is hovering around 30, and we saw little spits of snow when we caught our cab from the train station to the hotel. Our hotel, The Old Parsonage, is, indeed, old. But it seems clean and comfy.

i am glad I don't have to go back out tonight......brrr. We have 6:00 dinner reservations here. Then after that I make no promises about when I will crash.

Our first flight left about an hour late, but daughter had made sure to plan a long layover in LA. So no worries. Both flights were bumpy, especially the first small one. Otherwise the trip has been uneventful. Oh, except that daughter almost lost her coat. She left it in a LA restroom. We ate lunch, then she remembered and rushed out to look for it. She arrived at the restroom entrance just as the cleaning woman was exiting with her coat. Whew! We figured that her good luck was a sign that the trip would go well.

So far it has. We took the Heathrow Express train to Paddinton, then, with just a title searching, bought tickets and boarded our train for Oxford. So here were are.

More tomorrow.
