We're here (London)

So we made it here after many hours of plane flights. First we left Salt Lake at 6 (an hour late becasue of the snow) to Pheonix. Then at 9 we flew out to London and we got here at 7am Utah time (4am-2pm London time, which is actually Greenwich time, becuase the prime merridian goes through there, and the latitudial lines start at the Prime merridian AND that is what time zones are based off of those) ... Either way then we took the subway - called the "tube" here - to the place where we're staying. Soon we'll be going to the Lion King, but I'm posting now so we all can sleep after it.

PS I forgot to mention - we forgot to bring a camera cord to upload pictures onto the computer, so you may notice a certain lack of Photos until we can find an alternative way to get them up

First Post

So I finally set up the blog for our winter vacation trip, and this is it! Alright so basic overview - we are going to London, to Israel, and then back home. Yup quite simple actually. It sounds like I will be the main person doing postings, so without further adieu my I present the Ricks' rovings (I thought it was clever and my dad was pushing for "London and Israel blog" So I think we did very well). I'll try to update it every day... but who knows how that will go, ah well, we'll see.
