Bonjour!!

Royal navy barracks in England

One picture and a bit of an update here at the crack of dawn/ 2 a.m. in Paris I am here in the lovely city of Paris and I LOVE this hotel. Why you ask? Maybe the free water? Maybe it's the fact that I don't feel like I'm sweating in the rooms? Oh, no...THAT'S right...Free Wifi in my hotel room. I am a very happy man. So if you want to talk to me or skype me or anything in this next 5 day week let me know on Facebook and I'll set something up while I've got the wifi. Having fun here in Paris day one but, still looking forward to coming home and seeing all of you. Night guys, Best wishes and thought.

London Calling!!

Ok Friends, Family and Other scruff!!

I've made it to London, U.K. safely and I know that I haven't been able to update this as much as I liked but, you'll take what you get. Also, wifi is spoty here so you'll have to forgive me on my limited updates! :) Now onto the good stuff! I left on Sunday on THIS Plane:

British Airways: Coach class (I slept for about 5+ Hours of the 9 Hour trip)

What did I do once we got off the plane and were in Jolly ol' London? I got to travel to the land of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Oxford, England! Here I saw alot of cool stuff like the town and all of the Oxford campus, I was even given the tour by the guy who is in charge of all the graduation ceremonies for the whole school (Very Cool) Also found out that they actually really do where all of the Prep. School gear to class each day, not to mention that they have to wait through a 5 hour graduation ceremony, but on the plus side they only have to take 12 test the whole time they're at the University (But It's Essay form...Soooo that sucks) Here's some pics of Oxford, Including the Eagle and Child where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R met constantly when they were both teaching at Oxford. First Place I had a Pint!

Well...Tomorrow's the Big Day

All packed and in Houston for the big trip tomorrow. Hard to believe that in less than 48 hours I'll be in England. Seeing some of the family in Houston tomorrow, after seeing the some of the other side earlier yesterday. Going to enjoy Lunch with them, and eat the last bit of Tex-Mex I'm going to have for a month. In other news, I have this constant fear of leaving behind something state-side that I'll need on this trip...But, I can't tell if that's just me worrying or if it is an actual correct feeling. Even with that feeling I've still managed to squeeze the majority of my life into 3 bags, really 2, because the 3rd is just in case I have extra goodies on my way back.

All of My Junk

Got to admit though even though I feel like I'm at full capacity on the luggage I haven't had to squeeze the suit that I'm taking into that bag yet as well. Still the packing list isn't short by any means, I've got 2 pairs of shoes, a suit, 2 pairs of jeans, 6+ t-shirts, all of my electronic gear, 4 pairs of shoes, i-phone charger cables to connect it to the laptop, camera, medications, toothpaste, toothbrush...I'll stop boring you with the long list, let your imagination wander I'm sure you'll think of everything that I've got packed if you can't see it in the picture. Well it's late and I guess I should get some sleep since interesting fact of the day I learned, it will be 6 a.m. when I am up this time over there. Goodnight, Sleep tight, Pray for me to Have a safe flight.



The Prequel: Landon's Packing

Blog post numero uno,

Howdy Friends and Family!! I figured this would be the ideal place for me to share my experiences of the trip that I'm taking, especially to those of you without Facebooks. I'll also use be using this blog as a way to collect my thoughts for the portfolio that I need to put together at the end of this trip, so be prepared to read some description of the trips that I'll be taking during the day. But, that's not all!! You'll also get to see pictures that I'll upload from places that I'm going and LAST but, not least I will entertain you by posting these awesome post complete with grammatical and spelling errors abounding! So Thanks for following and tell your friends to follow if you want as well. Thanks and Gig'em.
