Day 1: Southampton

 

Our flight left DFW at 4:30pm and landed at 7am at London Heathrow airport. This was a 8 hour flight with a 6 hour time change, it was an official red eye flight. We did not get any sleep so a nap was in order when we arrived at our hotel. Only problem was that our hotel was in Southampton which was still a two hour bus ride. We depart LHR at 9am and arrive around 11:30am to the bus station then a quick 5 min Uber to the hotel. Once at the hotel, our rooms won't be ready for a couple hours so we grab a bite at ThaiKhun then hang at the hotel bar until we can get checked in. We sleep from 2-5ish and then decide to hit some pubs. We do the Red Lion and Duke of Wellington where we end up getting dinner at the bar for some good shepards pie, wine, and of course beer on tap. After hob knobing with the locals we call it a night and crash at the hotel for some deep sleep we all need badly. We sleep until past 10am the next day!
