On the upside... I get to check off another continent... on the down side... I'm stuck in London!

I HATE SNOW!!!!!!!!! I was upset when my flight from Delhi was 2 1/2 hours late, I was afraid I would miss my next flight because I only had a 3 hour layover. I arrived in London and they told us all flights were cancelled for the day. AWESOME! The airport was complete pandemonium!!! It took three hours to get through customs and once through customs British Airways said "too bad, so sad. Book your own hotels and re-book your own flights online. NICE!!! Lucky for me, they have rebooked me for tomorrow as long as it stops snowing! Another girl heading to Seattle couldn't get a flight until the 24th!!!! Unfortunately, the hotels are all booked up! I am currently sitting @ a McDonalds trying to find a hotel in London where I will be able to get back to the airport in the morning (the roads are all blocked w/ snow and the metro doesn't run early enough to get me back to the airport). I met someone in the airport who gave me the name of her hotel and I've been walking around in the frigid cold trying to find it... the undegrounds are also not working well as there are problems with the system due to snow. Worst case scenario, I will try to get back to the airport and sleep on the floor. Unfortunately the airlines wouldn't bring out our suitcases so I am walking around in capri pants and a thin jacket!!! On the up side, I got to see the Eye of London, Big Ben, Westminister Abbey and Parliament Square :) What an adventure! Wish me luck! :) Hopefully I will be home tomorrow!!! Love you all!!
