Oi there mate! Welcome to the land of the Queen! This trip was planned a few days before it happen and with very reduced budget, so, as you may figure, things didn't happen the way they supposed to be... at least during the flight and arrival... We flew on easy jet night flight, and, despite the fact that it was already a night flight, it was delayed... no big problem, except if the trains and metro to central London didn't close so early... So, if you're planning to go to London for a weekend, you may consider skipping work at friday, and depart in the morning, or perhaps you'll end up lost in som strange nieghbourhood at 4AM, raining, looking for a cab... I must confess... we went to Gatwick Airport - it was cheaper - ... read more

First of all, I am graduated with a BA in Psychology. Second of all, I'm in London, and it's not raining!

During my layover in Ireland, for example, I met a man who, like me, had planned to travel to London without a return ticket in a no-commitment travel style; unfortunately, London Customs promptly kicked him out because they thought his lack of return ticket meant that he was coming to work! Of course I was alarmed and set out to amass as much proof as I could about my travel-only intentions. Eventually I just purchased a return ticket (for December 31st), but not before I had discovered another problem. Um, my credit cards do not have PIN numbers, so ... read more

Missed a day - travelling from Paris to London. We did manage to go to Musee d'Orsay inthe morning on Wed. Very cool to seeing origina Monets, Manet, Van Goghs and other greats. Jon and Sophie were upset because they did not see a mime while in Paris. Correction - we did se a "mi". He was getting dressed and putting on his mime makeup on a Paris bridge so not a full mime yet. Chunnel ride was quicker it seemed, maybe because we were all excited to be going to London ... and because we had train seats that were facing each other and spent the ride playing pictionary. Got into London around 3:30p and checked in. Robb and I have a quaint (aka small room). Robb stubbed his toe on the bed walking in. ... read more
