A Rainy Day on The River Thames

One of the best things about working for a major US Airline, is the ability to hop a plane, near or far, and spend a weekend in another corner of the world.  With non-stop flights from Chicago, and a really big business class cabin, London is a perfect day trip for an airline employee!  I've flown to London for the weekend with various friends over the years, but this trip, a friend and I spent less than 8 hours in The Big Smoke.  We arrived at 7am, spend the day walking the major tourist attractions, and were back on the plane at 4pm.  Back in Chicago in time to go out on the town on Saturday night.

Matt and I spent a Spring weekend in London, which is recommended if you actually need to sleep on the weekend :)
