O'Callaghan's London

... between the old and new residents is readily apparent though, with
the locals in their "normal" houses juxtaposed with the relatively new property owners snapping
up penthouses and apartments "with river views". I doubt if any one of them doesn't appreciate
the ...

... traveled to Oxford Street, which is known for shopping. This area was more crowded than the city of London, if you can imagaine that. I will show you pic's. After Marc had been patient for some time we ventured thru St. James Park, posed for a pic and walked thru to Buckingham Palace, where we toured for about 2 hours. Then took tube to Covent Garden to get something to eat and back to hotel to pack for next day's flight to Munich.

... see and do it all. My priorities are, of course, different from anyone else’s so I took none of this criticism to heart.

The plan for the day was as follows: we would store our bags in the “left luggage” at the station, get something quick to eat, then take the tube to Westminster, visit Westminster Abbey, walk from there to Trafalgar Square, get lunch, then tube to Tower Hill where we would visit the Tower of London for the afternoon. We ...

hi all,
Well after a few days in London in perfect weather (sunny, a little cloud and fine) we have managed to tick of plenty of famous sights and monopoly names!! We are staying with Rosa's cousin Stipo, his wife Tania, daughter Tihana and Baki (grandma's nickname) in Chistlehurst which is on the edge of London in Kent - easy train ride to town after a quick 15 minute walk
Monday - Tower of London
Tuesday- Southbank, London ...

... part of the church, and walked around for about and hour before getting back on the tube to get back to Heathrow. We made it in find time, and went to the security line. I asked if we might get into the "Fast Pass" lane which was for first class passengers and such, and she did let us, which saved us quite a bit of time in line. What a success! We then went through security and had a very physical pat down after going through the metal detector. Eventually we ...

... I was attacked for the fun of it.. by a squirrel. I managed to get a photo of the instant that I was set upon, so I'll pop into see the Fuzz tomorrow, see if I can't sort this out. It was on my leg guys. I was just trying to get a photo, he came closer, I thought it was cool, he came closer again and I just thought I'd made another friend.. nope. He jumped at me and attached himself to my leg. I screamed and jumped and that was it. I'm so friggen bored ...

... put the car. It seems many of the people at Peugeot were very interested to see the car and seemed to want to look closer, but were maybe worried it wouldn't look good, them looking at an Audi. They asked him to park the car in between two of their cars so it wasn't so obvious. Now Kevin didn't really understand the significance of all this. So I explained that the ...

... area for try #2 with my no-show from last night. Backstory: the reporter e-mailed me this morning to apologize, saying he thought our dinner at Nobu was tonight, not last night. So, he suggested a new joint, Le Meridien, a French restaurant off of Piccadilly Circle (which reminded me of Times Square when I got off the Tube, btw). When I got dropped off at the Tube, I was running 15 minutes behind ...

... certain views of America. Everyone is so friendly here, well the travelers are, I cant say the same about the Londoners. Last couple of things:we had AMazing fish and chips today and I managed to crawl out of a bathroom window onto the roof. I have more stories, but not entirely appropriate. I hope all is well with everyone, I am not going to proofread this because there is no time, but I love you all and I miss you too. Love Isaac

... right where the prime meridian is marked, and the Greewich Mean Time digital clock runs. It was pretty cool to be able jump back and forth between the east and west hemispheres. We went into the observatory, and followed the guided tour. It was surreal to think the Issac Newton had been in the same building, and that Haley (of Haley's comet) had worked out of this observatory for most of his career. They had all kinds of astronomical artifacts on ...
