We had a comfortable and ontime flight from JFK to London Heathrow on Monday morning. the kids did well on the trip and glad we chose the morning flight instead of the red eye options. We took the overnight with Charlie years ago to Barcelona and recalled it being challenging from not sleeping on the plane.
Family of 4 on a month long trip with just a single checked bag didn’t seem that extreme to us but complimented by others at every stop so far.
Jet lag and 11pm arrival at the Airbnb in Kensington had us starting slow on Tuesday. Lesson learned would have been to set an alarm to get on track with the sun but we woke up around 11am. Basement level stay with minimal natural light didn’t help either.
Sunny and 70s was great weather to start the trip!
Tons of things to see and do in London but like we normally do it was a limited set of plans each day.
Tuesday: lunch meetup with a former Degreed coworkers. Afternoon exploration of Holland Park with focus on the adventure playground. Finished with a delicious Szechuan dinner on the way home.
Wednesday: natural history museum, Kensington palace and evening meetup with family residing nearby.
