Okay, so yesterday wasn’t my first day in England ever, but it was my first day there this year. And it was a great one! I honestly didn’t have any plans, so I just spent the day wandering around the city. Wait, let’s back up for a minute. I’m in England right now. Did I […]

I was just looking at Facebook and came across this amazing set of aerial photos of London by night. Check ’em out! http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/london-air-stunning-aerial-photos-by-jason-hawkes-1433487 Haven’t I said how important it is to see London (and other cities) by night? Now you know why! Unfortunately, it won’t be easy to see it by night in a helicopter, […]
Okay, I’m only calling this post Looking Back because I’m about to recap the last full day of the London trip I returned from about six weeks ago. But hey, that’s okay! Our last day in London was a good one! After all the excitement at the Doctor Who Celebration the day before, it was […]
Okay, it’s finally time for my recap of our Saturday in London, pretty much all of which was spent at the Doctor Who Celebration. We had been out just a little bit late the night before with some local friends, so we were feeling just the tiniest bit tender, but we knew we had a […]
I know I haven’t written a Doctor Who Celebration recap yet, but I’m out and about in London all day today and I just thought you should see this view: Big Ben. One of those London views I never get tired of. 🙂 Be sure to come visit the city during the day and at […]
Well, I haven’t been posting much the last couple of days, but that’s only because we’ve been having such a great time! After getting our friend’s passport sorted (he was able to get a new one at the embassy on Friday – whew!), we’ve been enjoying the city! We didn’t have anything in particular planned […]
Well, we made it to London! The business class seat definitely made a difference. I’m not someone who sleeps on planes much, if at all, but when your seat lies flat, that quickly changes. 🙂 Thanks for making that happen, Bill! We made it to the station and then to my friend’s house – super […]
We’re here at Heathrow, so I guess that means the vacation is really over! The trip here was much easier and less crowded than we we arrived since we traveled on a Saturday morning instead of a Monday afternoon. Taking the Underground to/from Heathrow is really simple (and cheaper than something like the Heathrow Express) […]
You came through for me, my finger-crossing friends. The weather was gorgeous here today! Although the day started mostly cloudy and a bit cool, the sun broke through as we headed into the city and I’m happy to say that it stayed with us for the rest of the day. It actually got warm enough […]
Our third full day in London also meant our third planned day trip on this three-week vacation (how’s that for doing things in threes? :)). This one included stops in Windsor, Stonehenge, and Oxford and was again scheduled through Viator. Unfortunately, it involved another early start (not the end of the world, but something you […]
