The Lewis Family Arrives

We made it! We arrived in London today after a long nine hour flight from Houston. The funniest part of the trip has been the luggage. Including three for my mother, we had thirteen checked items, plus an additional two pilot cases, two purses, one diaper bag, one car seat, one stroller, one laptop overnight bag, oh, and a St Martin's backpack. I didn't figure it was that much stuff since it was all of the boys' clothing and what we'd need for the next month. This picture is the cart at New Orleans. In London, we couldn't find a porter so had to load up two trolley cars, strap Jacob in his car seat strapped onto a big suitcase, and make our way to our drivers. Our stuff barely fit into the two Volvo wagons waiting for us. Once we arrived at our temporary accomodations, we found that we had to drag all of our stuff into one lift, go up four flights, go down a long hallway with doors at both ends, go into a second lift and finally, walk down a short hallway to the flat. My next project is figuring out how we are going to move into our permanent accomodations with our belongings.
