Home again

3:00 AM came mighty early Sunday morning.  Fortunately we had packed the night before.  We managed to get to Heathrow on time and figure out their weird boarding procedures.  One does not proceed to any gate until one is called. We had much more comfortable seats for the flight out, which was a good thing.  … Read More “Home again” »

7/22/06 We had a very slow morning.  I was still suffering the effects of my cold.  We went down and talked with our Trafalgar rep to make sure arrangements had been made to get us to the airport on time.  It seemed that everything was under control, so we asked about the best way to … Read More “Portabello Road” »

7/21/06 Yet Another Dead Dude On A Pedastal This morning we caught a bus over to the Thames River,  where we purchased tickets for a river cruise down the Thames to Greenwich.  It was a push to get to the dock in time, with the bus coming to a dead stop multiple times in traffic, … Read More “Greenwich Mean Time and YADDOAP” »

7/20/06 It is hot.  At 6:00 AM the temp in our room was still above 80.  I showered and went down to the counter to complain.  The manager said he would put us in a different room if we made sure everything is packed before leaving on our tour.  I feel a little weird having … Read More “Stonehenge and Bath” »

7/19/06 London is the the midst of a heat wave and drought.  After; yesterday’s close encounter in theTube, it was time to get out of the city crowds.  Today we had an organized tour with the Trafalgar group to Stratford-upon-Avon, and we were hoping for fewer crowds and cooler temps.  At least the crowds part … Read More “Stratford-Upon-Avon” »

Donkey’s Years

7/18/06 I don’t know why I bothered to get cleaned up for the theater.  The Tube trip to the Theatre District was the hottest, most uncomfortable subway ride I’ve ever taken.  At each station, more people pushed into our already impossible crowded car.  Each time, I couldn’t see how anyone else could get on, but … Read More “Donkey’s Years” »

Things Overheard, Travel

Is there any mayonaise involved? Heard completely out of context outside a London Theatre, spoken with an American accent.

7/18/06 We got a slower start this morning.  I got dressed more quickly than Laura, and headed down to the hotel coffee shop where I could get Internet access (at an incredibly exhorbitant price) and post some updates.  My brief 15 minute account wouldn’t let me upload any photos, so readers will have to wait. … Read More “British Museum” »
