And so the journey begins ...

I left on my trip yesterday morning from Troy, NY, drove over to Albany International Airport and took a shuttle down to JFK. From there - a quick jaunt over the Atlantic that brought me here: Heathrow Airport in London. I have a 6 hour layover before my flight for Milan leaves.
I was hoping that there would be free WiFi access in the airport, but no such luck. I was forced to pay 10 pounds for a 24-hour access pass. Well worth it. I also didn't realize that my cell phone wouldn't dial out unless I dialed the US country code first, and I had no idea what that was (turns out it was 1). What a strange country. I'm looking forward to spending more time here next week, but right now I can't wait to get to the hotel in Milan and go to sleep.
