Arrived in england

So my mom and I made it over to England. The flight was long and the eggs they served us for breakfast on the plane upset both of our stomachs so we are still a bit queasy from that. Unfortunately, the Internet at the holiday inn is very expensive, so we won't have constant access. Also the breakfast at the hotel seems to be about $21per person so we are scouting other food options nearby.

Hopefully, they have free wifi at the hospital we can use while we are there. Right now we are at a coffee shop about a mile from our hotel with free wifi. We have all day tomorrow to explore and I have my first pre-op appt. On Monday afternoon.

I got word on Friday morning that the wire payment went through, but I was hit by a hefty currency conversion fee of around 3% by the bank in england since my bank could only wire outgoing funds in us dollars. Had I known I could have payed by debit card and saved around $800 since my debit card only has a 1% conversion fee. Oh well, nothing I can do now.

Other than that I am pretty nervous to finally be here after so much planning. It's hard to believe this is really happening.
