Traci Melchor & Tanya Kim in London – click to rate this photo

Hey! It’s Jessica, MMM field producer reporting on the lifestyles and misadventures of a Canadian Tv crew in London covering what is billed as the most ambitious TV broadcast of all time!

The first 24 hours were the longest and fastest ever!! Flight to UK Thursday at 9am. Traci and I get upgraded to business and the flight attendants pop extra champagne! Needless to say the flight was fun and fast!

London is f’n expensive and the taxi from the airport ate up half of our budget… seriously. In the spirit of the eco friendly event (and that we’re already out of pounds sterling) we’ll be walking back to Heathrow!

The ghetto fabulous vibe kept up on the ground when we checked into the hotel which was less fab than ghett if u know what I mean…

But in the morning we have a hotel date with the foo fighters… And for sure they are staying somewhere swank…

Update: If anyone is at YYZ can you look for Traci Melchor’s coat. Once we were already in the air she realized she left it behind. Ladies’ washroom or secondary inspection. Seriously!

No matter… Alexander McQueen already had a new coat sent to her hotel. Seriously. This woman can just show up in a new town and get hot designers to give her free clothes.

Watch for it when we go live in a few hours!

More to come…

PS: So they gave me this blackberry thing to use in the field and I couldn’t put it down all night! I’m still pretty slow but man it’s addictive!
