Finally in Leicester!

Well, I made it here! I had an excellent trip, traveling from my home to Chicago and then to Heathrow. I made all of my connections, and no trouble at the UK border. I was asked why I was here, and the gentleman wanted to know what relatives I was visiting. I did not get much reaction when I told him cousins and Richard III. They have probably heard it all there!

I decided to take the National Express bus to Leicester. It was very inexpensive and direct. I enjoyed people watching in bus station--hikers, old people, mothers with children.

The coach arrived on time and I met my cousin for the first time in person. I know I am going to have a good week!

Today's The Day!

I am leaving today on my Big Adventure. Today's mission: how NOT to get lost in large airports!

I have been busy printing detailed maps of the big airports I am going through. I have instructions on how to get my coach. I have all of these papers. Now what should I do with them?

I will have to acquire a folder, I suppose. One more thing for the carry on, which is packed!

I hope I have thought everything. If not, I will have to figure out what to do. I've got my admission ticket and my passport. What else do I really need?
