We only left LAX an hour late, but, as we were descending into London, the plane pulled back up and we circled around before landing. Our plane was really low and over the airport when we pulled  back up- what felt like straight up. I think the landing gear was down. “This is your captain speaking… Siiiiiiike.”

That added to our delay which caused us to miss our connecting flight. So, we ended up spending the night in London at an airport hotel. We decided to take advantage of the situation and find a pub. There was one pretty close to our hotel, so Steve, Charlie, Matt and headed out to walk there. It was snowing when we left the hotel which made the whole experience very picturesque. Here are some pictures from the night:

It was nice to turn an inconvenience into a mini adventure.
