As you all know Grace and Abby have been living it up studying abroad. Before our trio was split, we decided that during their time abroad I would come visit them during the week of Thanksgiving. We were split for almost 90 days, 3 months. And let me tell you it was rough. During the days leading up to my flight I was so excited and nervous, mostly because I had never traveled alone before.
The trip for me lasted a full week, November 20th to the 27th. I hopped on a plane at approximately 7:30pm USA time and arrived in London at approximately 7:30am, which was 2am in USA. So I tried my best to sleep on the plane and luckly had no one sitting in the two seats next to me. The trip consisted of Abby and I exploring London for Monday, and Tuesday. Tuesday night Grace flew into London and the next morning the trio hopped on a plane to Morocco, Africa where we spend Thanksgiving. We were there until Friday when we flew back to London, and then proceeded to stay there until Sunday when Abby and I headed to the US and Grace was sent back to Scotland.
Now that you have an idea of the trip, let's get to the details...
Monday November 21st
When I arrived in London I took the subway (aka the London tube) to meet Abby. I was super scared because Abby was originally supposed to get me at the airport, but I was a big girl and did it! When I arrived Abby and I talked for about 3 hours straight catching up on all the gossip of the past 3 months. After that we went exploring. Here are some pictures...
Tuesday November 22nd
The next day we headed out with Abby's study abroad roommate Isabelle. If you didn't know, during our time in Philly Abby and I have been asked if we were twins over 10 times. And being that the Parent Trap was filmed at a house in London, and happens to be Abby's favorite movie, we decided that we needed to get a picture in front of the house. We ended up having the butler of the house pop his head out and wave at us while we were taking pictures and trying to learn the famous Parent Trap handshake.
After the pictures were complete, we headed to Harrods, a famous department store in London. Abby and I spent quite a bit of time there. Mostly in the baby section, because who doesn't like tiny designer clothing?
Later that evening we awaited Grace's arrival with some legal drinks. That night we FaceTimed with our favorite Philly friend, Josh, and it was quite the reunion. We stayed up till about 2 am when we decided we needed to be up around 4:30am for our Morocco departure, so at that point, what was the point of going to bed.
Stay tuned for Part two of our trip in Morocco!
xoxo,
Christine
