In this first half of our London two-parter, Joanna went on a whirlwind two-day adventure in the city before heading into the countryside — and she’s sharing EVERY DETAIL.

She traveled with her mom and daughter, flew Virgin Atlantic using points, and tried a new system to beat jet lag that changed everything. From a rainy New York layover to a luggage-saving trick that helped them hit the ground running, this episode is packed with practical advice and plenty of inspiration for your own trip.

Whether you’re heading to London soon or just dreaming about it, tune in for the tips — and stay for the real talk about navigating public transit, spending points wisely, and falling head over heels for a city you didn’t expect to love this much.

Part two is coming soon with Mary Ellen’s London itinerary — totally different pace, totally different vibe.
