Another day in London has come to an end, so time continues to fly by, but we’re having a lot of fun! After arriving jet-lagged on Wednesday and needing to get up at a specific time yesterday to catch our train to Brighton, it was very nice to not have anything to wake up for […]

It’s already Friday! The sun is shining and there’s a nice breeze coming in from our patio as I write today’s blog from our London flat. Of course, London isn’t where we spent our time yesterday as we went spent the day in Brighton. And what a great day it was! For the uninitiated, Brighton […]

We have arrived! Yesterday, that is. London, I’m in you again and, as usual, I couldn’t be happier! The flight from Minneapolis proved to be as uneventful as possible, which is generally a good thing for flights, I’d say. We departed on time, got no sleep (as per usual), and even landed a little bit […]

Yes, that’s right! After catching up on my last few trips in my most recent posts, the time has come to take a new trip, albeit to an old destination. My annual pilgrimage to the UK is happening tonight! This time, Scott is coming with me and, for the first time since he and I […]

I don’t want to go! I said in my previous post that I had “plenty of time” to think about the fact that I’m flying home tomorrow afternoon, but that’s no longer true because in about 12 hours, I’ll be at the airport. But as a silver lining, the trip will be much quicker because […]

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! Well, it’s Thursday in reality, but this post is all about my Wednesday – another lovely day in London. Once again, I had one specific thing planned (more on that shortly), but the rest of the day came down to where the wind took me. And, since I hadn’t […]

Let’s see – what can I check off my list for this trip? Get from Minneapolis to the UK – check Get from London to Brighton – check Get from Brighton to Swansea – check Have an awesome time at Regenerations – check More Doctor Who delight in Cardiff – check Get back to London – […]

After a fun weekend at a Doctor Who convention in Swansea, you may think I was Who’d out, but you’d be wrong. 🙂 Matt, Douglas, and I made plans awhile ago to attend the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, about an hour from Swansea. I was really excited to visit because I had never been […]

As you learned in the first post of this trip, my destination for the weekend was Swansea, Wales – home of the Regenerations Doctor Who convention. Why a Doctor Who convention? Well, you’ve undoubtedly seen in some of my previous posts that I love attending conventions and this one is particularly fun because I’ve been […]

Ack! I don’t think I’ve ever gone this long without updating my blog when starting a trip before now, but this one has been a bit of a whirlwind. But definitely fun! I’ve already been to Brighton, Swansea, and Cardiff and I’m now ensconced in a hotel in London, where I’ll be for the rest […]
