All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go. OK, enough with the sappy John Denver music. I don't know why I am still up... it's 1:30 am local time and my dad is going to be mad at me for not getting any sleep. Oh well, my itinerary is condusive to sleeping, I'll be leaving the US to head to London Heathrow Airport at 10:00pm eastern time. 

I'll miss my family, friends and pets back home. I'll miss the California sunshine. I'll miss home cooked meals though I am excited to explore what new food London will open my tastebuds to. Still, to re-iterate my point, I don't know why I am still up at 1:30 am. Up to this point it has been what I like to call, 'organized chaos'. 

Between finishing the requirements for the course, visiting my grandparents and playing fetch with my golden retriever, it has been a busy week. But now is the time, London is calling. It'll be awesome to get into London and start exploring. Our first activity is to attend a Torch Run Celebration concert in Hyde Park, the next day is the final torch run into the Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony. 

So let the games begin!
