Gathered information based on research I am doing for our trip to London. This blog also touches on the thoughts and feelings around the preperation of the trip.

Transportation
I guess you could say there are many modes of transportation that we will have to rely on between my door step and Shaffer Hall. As I think about this reality I do what all good travelers do which is plug in my handy dandy google maps to check my streets and distances from point A-B. Once we get to LHR (London Heathrow Airport) my time there should roughly be about 10am. I am thinking after 14-19 hours on the plane (depending on what plane I make it on since I fly standbye)my main goal will probably be to get to a place where I can rest my body horizontally for another 2-3 hours for a nap (jk) who could sleep after arriving in London at 10am? Sleeping is for grandpa's and grandma's. No disrespect to all the grandma's and grandpa's who are following me... Moving on, our dorm room is roughly 40 minutes from the airport and it appears we have a few options to get there. Taxi, bus, Tube, rail, car, tram, foot, and by bike. My guess is I can take the Tube (subway) or the bus (the scenic route). You will have to stay tuned on how I figure that one out. Other than that I have read about a money saving pass that will allow me to utilize many of London's travel options that is inclusive of 55 attractions around London. My plan is to start my research to see if this is the cost saving option I have been looking for.
