Ironsides in London

Hayo!  Team Ironsides is officially united for the first time in London.  Alex and I joined JOya today who met us at the airport making things that much closer and that much more real.  Alex and I flew from Burlington with little incident besides a couple of minor delays.  The biggest hassle we sustained was in Longan in Boston due to our One Way flight status.  Apparently thats a red flag or something. We arrived at 7:30 this morning and made it through immigration with no problems, except for a sideways glance at my answer for reason of entry.  Having recently lost our accomodations to rather unfortunate but bizzare circumstances, Alex and I found ourselves homeless until a member from Team Micragolia stepped up in a big way and offered us accomodations for a night or two until we get settled.  We'll be meeting her in a couple of hours and staying with her mum and her.  What better way to experience London, right? being homeless, with two months worth of baggage over your shoulder.  Big snaps to Nettie for stepping it up and really helping us out. (check out their website at http://www.micragolia.com and help them out with fundraising if you can)  Otherwise we're settling in, Alex is passed out on a floor in a random apartment, and has been for some time.  Apparently the inflight entertainment on Virgin Atlantic was too much to pass up so he didn't get much sleep (for the record though i kicked his ass twice in a game of interactive Battleship)  Joya is also here with us, relaxing watching some BDs Grey's Anatomy.  We are all well and excited about the week ahead and will keep everyone posted as things arise.  please check back again soon...
