Rachel in London 1

Here's Rachel at Dulles, getting ready to check in for her Thursday flight to London.

I tracked her flight across the Atlantic using Flightaware and was put in no small amount of distress when the telemetry from the airplane stopped for three hours over the Atlantic. I finally checked out some other flights and determined that it's a typical thing. Stupid Flightaware, might want to post a warning about that.

She arrived safely and has been fighting jetlag to get through orientation. She must not be doing too badly, though, because yesterday she waited in line and got the next to last ticket ever sold for the Royal Shakespeare Company's Richard II starring the 10th Doctor himself, David Tennant! She texted that it was the "best show ever" and "amazing".
