Well, I made it to Brighton…yesterday! I’m always impressed by European rail systems in regards to how easy it is to get between destinations. While there was nothing stand-out about the train journey from Lewisham to Brighton, it was certainly easy and pretty quick. Jason and I met up in Lewisham and then found our […]

Another great day has (nearly) come to an end. I couldn’t believe my luck this morning when I realized the weather was fabulous (sunny and low-50s) for the second day in a row. Winning! Once again, I had no plans, but the day definitely started off right with me sleeping until 9a. Anyone who knows […]
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) […]
