Indeed this trip would mark some changed priorities for us. We had cancelled a planned trip to Italy in 2004 due to Lindsey's acceptance to Business School. Then we cancelled a purchased trip to New Zealand due to our move to Hawaii. At long last though, after 2 new jobs, a 4000 mile move, and an MBA, we were finally embarking on our trip to Europe. We were long overdue for an extended vacation.

They do have Starbucks in London (though a frappucino runs about $7) and we desperately needed it after some 28 hours of travel from Maui to LA to DC to London. Lindo had to survive a double redeye, while I managed to get some sleep in a Dallas motel in between flights.
