I left Dulles International Airport Saturday at 6:30 ish p.m EST. I arrived at Heathrow International Airport Sunday at 6:30 ish a.m. UK time. My flight was less than pleasant.

The entire flight, her elbow was in my side and she was consistently moving her body into my space and moving her head against me to reach something from down below. She pulled the seats and hair of those in front of her to get out, and wrapped her blanket around her head after dinner. She was also itching her head consistently throughout the whole trip with both her fingers and fork once the dinner came. This made be both uncomfortable and worried about what was causing her to itch. The man on the other side of her yelled very rude things at her multiple times, even jabbing her back to shoe her, "how it's so annoying." I then had to wait in the Airport until 1 p.m. for the rest of the group to arrive and 2:30 p.m. for the shuttle to take us to the hotel to arrive. When we arrived to the hotel in Reading, England, we had a safety presentation at Starbucks. We then ate dinner at Brown's Bar and Brassier. Here are some general pictures of Reading. My dinner was "Half Roasted chicken" with chips, and my dessert was "Salted Caramel Profiteroles." We had a guide Jessica plan the shuttle to the hotel as well as the
