Adventure #3 London - Part 4

Today is our last show in the UK. Time has flown by!! We have a busy day today. We have to get to Heathrow, rent a car and drive a few hours north to Sheffield.

We get up pretty darn early and just brush our teeth and throw on some clothes. I have a headband in my hair and am looking just oh so pretty! We catch the tube to Heathrow and rent a car. We get GPS so we don’t get lost and we end up going the wrong way out of the airport and we drive for about 20 minutes the opposite way of London! We turn around and get on track! We hit the city and traffic is a nightmare. I am not sure how Krystal managed to navigate her way through, but she did! We didn’t get to the hotel til almost noon, so we were way behind schedule now.

Krystal went in to check out and I was hanging outside by the car, since she basically just pulled up to the front door! LOL! I am just standing there all alone, when Jon comes walking out of the hotel. He heads down the sidewalk, then sees me and turns and walks into the street to greet me! Oh yay! I am tired, haven’t showered, and I’m grumpy from lack of food and caffeine and here is Jon opening his arms for a hug! YIKES! I hug him then we talk for a few minutes and he heads off to Starbucks! It was crazy! I ran into the lobby to tell Krystal and she is like what is wrong with you? You look like you’re in shock. Um, I was! HAHAHAHAHA!

We get in the car and head towards Sheffield. I think it was supposed to take 2 hours, but we didn’t arrive at the hotel til 4. We had 5* so we got ready faster than we ever had before! We made it to 5* on time, barely. It seemed fairly small compared to the one at Hammersmith, which was cool! The girls at this 5* were all so nice and friendly. I met a few people from Scotland as well as England! And, I met Kelsie from Oregon! Turned out to be great as we became friends and spent more time together on other tours!

The meet & greet was pretty darn comical that night! Joe, Jon and I had quite a moment! Jon ended up whispering something in my ear, which almost made me faint. And the picture of me and Jon is funny as we are cracking up! That night I gave Jon a little Tube keychain as a present! I hope he kept it!!!

We had third row center seats, which were awesome! The show that night was great! At the end though, I was sad, as tomorrow it was time to go home.

BUT, there would be more adventures to come!
