Welcome!

Greetings! Welcome to my blog - its taken a shift from a personal travel blog of my excursions in Europe, to covering the "Great Tate Adventure" which is my family's version of a cross-country vacation. Hopefully Wally-World will be open!

TOUCHDOWN!?!?....Literally...

I made it. I flew overnight and for a first-time international flight, I had a smooth ride for sure. I left Washington DC around 6pm and arrived promptly in London this morning at 6:30am as well. My approx. 7.5 hour flight was filled with a lot of fun for sure. I was sitting in between another study-abroad-to-be student from Oklahoma named Deseray and a good ol' quality Brit named Chris, which was great because not only did I get tips and pointers on where to go in London and what to see in Europe from an expert but also spent some quality time with another student too.

And what made the flight even better? The in flight movie was KUNG FU PANDA! It's destined that this adventure was meant to be because since the midnight showing this past summer that I saw, I haven't seen a much better flick.

Other than that, I'm all moved into the flats, got my suitemates, and am slowly acclimating to the London lifestyle. There are more trips, tours, and such in the next few days, but I of course wanted to make sure I blogged the moment I got settled in so that my Mom would be happy. Tune in again soon!
