London, UK 5 July 2004 London is expensive, especially at first. For some reason I kept forgetting to do the conversion from pounds to dollars (Canadian). And so I would sit down to dinner for 'only' 10 pounds and say, "London really isn't that bad." Later that same night it hit me, hard. 10pounds is about 24CAD. I may have wept, but real men are in touch with their sensitive side. Later on I realized you couldn't do the conversion and still be willing to pay for anything. Did a walk by of the must sees: Buckingham Palace, St James Park, [View Full Entry]

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Cheshire » Crewe
EUR-UK-England 3 July 2004 Leave King's Lynn in the morning for Crewe, Cheshire. Celebrated my Nana's Birthday in style. Finished the meal with a "pudding" (ie dessert). Handily I met most of my relitives in one place and time, very efficient. A little about Crewe. -Most people only change trains here. -a Rolls-Royce factory is here, although it only makes Bentley's now. -Crewe Alexander FC is in the First Divison. -Crewe park is very nice, lots of gardens, a bit of a forest, a pond with paddle boats and "funny canadian canoes", and a lot of canada geese (!) 4 July [View Full Entry]

Recently found my notes and thought I'd upload them. ***Disclaimer*** I'm not the sort of person who can read a travel guide for long spells - i prefer looking at maps and drawing red lines on them. I can't sit at home and read, "take bus No. 154 for 3 stops, transfer to the red line ..." I am, as a result, totally useless in train stations, airports, bus depots etc. Also I can miss the must-see attraction and end up else where. (I never made it into the Dom in Cologne despite walking past it 5+ times, I did [View Full Entry]

Pearson Int'l (YYZ) Toronto, CANADA 1 July 2004 (Canada Day) Our gateway out of Canada. Check In Checked my bag and managed not to give sarcastic answers to the check-in girl. "Did you pack these bags yourself?" -No, a middle-eastern guy did. Funny he knew exactly what to bring... Departures Saying goodbye to my family was painless and surprisingly devoid of saddness. I wondered if I was dead inside but soon enough I had to pass security. I think I was the only one not patted down - maybe you had to pay extra for that. If we were hoping for [View Full Entry]
