Those of us silly enough to stay up took the Tube to Picadilly Circus to see it at night. Lots of Christmas lights and people everywhere! This is one street the kids will march down on New Year's Day.
We are having issues with Internet/E-mail access as well as International phone cards. Internet access is not cheap and there are no free wifi spots anywhere to be found. The hotel charges L17.50 for 24 hour access. Some of the student's phone cards are not working as advertised. So if you were expecting your kids to E-mail or call, don't be surprised if you haven't heard from them. However, they are all fine and probably asleep by now.
Tomorrow is our bus tour of London, then Windsor Castle. Some of us will be doing the Jack the Ripper tour in the evening.
Today was a lot of hurry up and wait. Waiting for all the flights to arrive; waiting to get our rooms; waiting for the elevators, etc. We are anxious to start our busy schedule.
Cheerio for now and check back tomorrow evening for more updates. And don't forget to look at the pictures posted on the photo page. Photos do not upload very quickly, so we've posted just five tonight. We'll try to do better tomorrow!

It's great to hear about what they're doing ... thanks for keeping us up-to-date!
Welcome to the UK, Lincoln East Band! For email, you can find WIFI hotspots in coffee shops and eateries covering most of central London, and internet cafes (such as EasyInternet) all over the place for about £1-£2 per hour.
We'll be out to see the band perform at the parade, and drop by on Lance, Mary Beth, etc...
We moved here from Lincoln in 2001, and hope you all have a wonderful stay in this fantastic city. Looking forward to hearing a very good Nebraska marching band again!

Glad to hear you made it safe and sound. The update is great! Looking forward to what adventures you have next. The pictures are great, but for some reason can only be viewed really large and then they are distorted.

We did find some L1 per hour Internet sites, but they seem to be busy most of the time. Even the business center at L3 for 15 minutes is always busy. But we'll keep looking and thanks for that tip.
I resized the photographs so they should look better. Thanks for letting me know!
This great to have this "progress report" available. Hello to Rachel, Renni, and Raeanne.
With love, Grandma Lou !!
