My Chiro. family in London

About 1 month ago, I decided to take a trip to London as I had promissed Trina and Brian that I would visit them before I went back to Canada. Since, my best friend Irene, happened to have an 8hr stop over in London this past weekend, I decided go.

I took an afternoon flight and arrived in London Gatwick Airport around 5:30pm. I hopped on a bus that was supposed to bring me into Central London, however, since Trina and Bri live in Greater London, I decided that I would be smart and more efficient with my time...so I got off the bus early and hopped on a train.

After asking for directions, I got onto a train and settled in. A few stops into the journey, I had a feeling that I wasn't heading the right way. The conductor finally came by and I was going in the opposite direction by about 15 miles (merde)!! The train station attendant had given me the wrong directions! (ca me fait chier)!! I got off the next stop and was in the middle of no where and the next train was in 45mins!! 3 trains later, and 3 hours later, I finally arrived in Twickenham.

Trina and Bri live in a beautiful spacious flat with a guest bedroom...no couch for me! Trina and Nicole (another chiropractor, 1 year ahead of us at CMCC) picked me up from the train station. For dinner, we had Mexican night and Bri made an amazing veggie bean dip for me! We pigged out on food, and chatted about chiropractic and such.

The next day was unusually beautiful in London....27 degrees and sunny!! We took advantage of the sun and went for a walk in and around Richmond park. After lunch, I went to meet Taco (another former classmate of mine) and we sat on a park bench for a few hours catching up and enjoying the sun. Trina and Bri then came to pick me up and along with Nicole, we went for drinks and munchies. Kudos to Trina for spotting the 2 for 1 sign that was almost impossible to see!!

Monday, I said goodbye to Trina and Bri and went to Heathrow to meet Irene. Irene is volunteering for the next month in Kenya and had 8 hrs to kill between flights. It was so nice to see my best friend again! We ate lunch, talked and wandered around central London. The time passed quickly and I was soon back at the airport. This was an easy goodbye as I knew that I would be seeing her soon.

Thank you to Trina and Brian for their hospitality! It was great catching up! Nicole, it was nice to meet you. To Taco, it was great seeing you again and thanks for the advice...a la prochain....and to Irene, have fun and I'll see you soon.

Next trip...this weekend! Woohoo! I'm going to Tours, France!
