We ended up here instead of going back to The Defectors Weld. Apparently the brits aren’t too keen on sarcasm, at least the bouncer wasn’t. Note to self. It’s all good though because we got to relive the 80s thanks to the DJ. Oh, and as we were leaving, the police were outside as someone forgot their blood on the sidewalk. Not quite sure what that was all about. We all still had all of our blood with us.

At The Defectors Weld

For some Lincolnshire Bangers & Mash!

Jay’s bacon cheese burger can be seen off there in the distance.
These weird guys kept watching us as we ate.

Well, there’s no turning back now! We have arrived in London’s Heathrow airport.

It really isn’t as bad as I’ve heard. The walk from the terminal to the Underground was a bit long, but manageble.

Even the wait to get through customs was tolerable once we figured out the trick was to follow the ladies with babies in strollers and masquerade as the dads.

More to follow…
Jay is in the process of updating the dates on our countries list as we may have finally secured our flight from Aukland to Santiago. So anyone planning on meeting up with us along the way, please re-check the list.

Jay worked tirelessly on the itinerary, hacking it into shape in true .org fashion. I think he must have bypassed just about every One World regulation, in order to squeeze in as many countries as possible. About the only country not on the agenda is Russia due to their lame visa requirements. But who knows, maybe we’ll sneak in across the Mongolian border or something. It can’t be much harder than getting into Club Pure on New Years!
Here is the initial 20-flight itinerary, and does not include the many countries we plan to visit in between via trains, boat, cars, helicopters, hang-gliders, hot-air balloons, surfboards, and rickshaws.
- Los Angeles -> London
- London -> Barcelona
- Barcelona -> Madrid
- Madrid -> Cairo
- Cairo -> Helsinki
- Helsinki -> Hong Kong
- Hong Kong -> Shanghai
- Shanghai -> Tokyo
- Tokyo -> Bangkok
- Bangkok -> Singapore
