Prague - Day One: Getting There

For us Texans, Prague is a destination where the idiom 'you cannot get there from here' couldn't be more true. While we mapped out a route to minimize our time at an intermittent stop along the way - at least one stop is unavoidable. We chose a route through London (with hopes of grabbing some official Olympic 2012 swag) in making the 5,388 mile journey from Dallas to Prague. Our trip begins with a overnight flight to London, a reasonable lay-over at Heathrow Airport and a short 2 hour flight on British Airlines over to the capital of the Czech Republic.

Prague or Praha, in Czech, has several nicknames including "City of a Hundred Spires", "Golden City" and "Mother of Cities".  I rely Wikipedia as a fairly accurate source for my research needs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague .
