Off to London Tomorrow!

Okay, tomorrow I fly to London, and boy, am I ready! I've tried to get all of the language stuff done here for work, and we had a very good meeting today with another Ministry of Health official. In fact, it was so exciting that we decided to go out for ice cream afterwards! :-) Maria took us to a little gelato shop that served us enormous sundaes. I only ate half, and that was still a whole lot. My sundae was chocolate gelato and mint gelato with chocolate syrup. Man, it was so yummy. Good thing I didn't know this place was here the last 2 weeks... Tonight we're going out to a Thai place for my birthday dinner! Yay! It's so fun to draw out b'day celebrations with so many diff people.

My flight leaves tomorrow around 4 p.m., so I'll catch the shuttle from the hotel a little before 2. Then Maputo to Johannesburg and Jo'burg to London. Hooray! I arrive in London at 6:50 a.m. on Saturday and have a whole day to kill. Carrie will join me Sunday morning, and we're planning to hit the ground running! I've done restaurant research, and she's done activities/sites research, so we're raring to go. I can hardly wait. Heck, it's been 10 years since I was last in London, and it feels odd to be old enough to say that. I'll blog during the week next week to let you know how it's going (unless the free wifi in the hotel room is not actually available, but let's be positive).
