... the quality of my digital pictures, so by taking millions, perhaps I can get a few good shots. That rationale seems to be shared by many of us who have digital cameras but no patience. Of course, this drives Michael crazy, as it should. But there it is. And he wasn't there, so I just shot on in my annoying fashion.

When I wasn't shooting pictures, I was chatting with my own personal bobby ...

... It is going to be amazing though, first stop is Kenya and we should arrive there at 8.50pm ish tonight (6.50pm here). Then we have to get our visas at the airport - I am feeling totally clueless about all this kind of stuff still, but apparently it is quite easy to do. We start our 'South East Adventure' as it is known on Sunday, so looking forward to meeting some of the tour group today on the plane/at the hotel.

Ross is still in ...

... cottages to magnificent cathedrals. As I mentioned before, I actually went up the 124 steps in the tower of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Oxford. I felt very old as I struggled up various circling steps, very excited to get a glimpse of the light that meant the end of the stairs. Two things made me feel better when I got to the top: the view, and a ...

... in a plastic bag in the fridge!!!! Now what kind of service is that - i'm used to a warm round thing - that said, when needs must - i managed.

Daddy obviously felt sorry for me - as he fed me some of that grown up stuff. They look at me as if i'm some kind of idiot or gifted child - of course i know what a spoon is, where it goes and ...

To be fair, we had taken the **** a bit with getting back for work, so we had to go home today. But first, we popped to a nearby Church to get a Geocache, then down to Cove Hithe, a tiny village literally on the cliff tops overlooking the North Sea. The road there just stops at the cliff, having fallen away years ago. We went to see a Church there, which is pretty odd. It's one in ...

You should probably excuse this entire blog entry, due to the fact I'm writing this in September, three months after the actual trip. I'll forget certain things, probably get others completely wrong, so I'll just chuck a ton of photos in instead and hope that helps pass the time. So let's start off were we ended last time ...

... my brother Paul lives with my sister-in-law Amanda and her family. The nearest beach? Laguna Beach, just quarter of an hours drive. Hollywood? An hour's train journey and just $13 for the ticket. I don't have many solid plans for the upcoming 8-week trip. Just to go to as many cool places as I can, to shop and party to my hearts desire and to have as much fun as physically possible when one is unemployed and the economy is in the ...

... numbers change. This of course requires you to break the cardinal rule of PINs and write it down. Strange. We started up a Google calendar that you can check out when planning your trip to visit. Cuz we know you are all coming to visit. When you plan your trip just let us know what days you will be coming out and we will put it in the calendar. White Cliffs Calendar Ok. That's all for now. I must go watch some quality Brit TV....Gordon Ramsay! Love to all.

... All I have to do is fill it in, attach all receipts and police reports, and submit it for processing. Let's hope I get all $600 back! It will help out my dwindling credit card balance:) I LOVE London... I just love walking through the historic parts of this unbelievable town. It takes me back to 2000 when I simply loved everyday of being here. But I must admit that the people don't do much for me... rush, rush, rush and NO eye contact... but they are ever so friendly and helpful ...

I was so excited of going to England for the very first time in my life that upon arrival I didn't even say 'hi' to the family who was going to host me, and I just rushed to see the city.

Hastings is beautiful. It has 2 hills, famous for the Battle of Hastings in 1066, it has a medieval castle, it has the sea (well, the English Channel/La Manche), it has a small fishing harbour, it has a picturesque old town, it has a ...
