... one out). It was a delightful time with beers, nachos and American football! The rest of our time in Spain included another day in Barcelona (nothing too exciting to report) and a night in a fancy-schmancy hotel with the BEST breakfast we've seen these many months. Jim and Mary flew back too early to enjoy the breakfast so we ate their share as well. We too took a plane that day (Saturday) to London. Our flight was roughly 2 hours and little bumpy ...

I went on my first 'Original London Walks' tour the other day, in London. I was supposed to be going to Oxford, but of course I overslept and instead of getting to London by 9:30 in the morning I didn't make it into the city until 1PM. Big surprise, right? Anyway, I paid 5 pounds to go on a 2.5 hour walking tour of major Beatle sights around London and it was fantastic! I ...

... Notting Hill (had to give Gaynor something after Lords), which was all very pretty... That night we had our first moment of Australian cringe when we went out to dinner at a great Greek place where, we subsequently found out, th previous night 4 drunken Aussies from the local Walkabout had smashed the front window and assaulted the owner... I wonder how easy it is to become a Canadian citizen????? Yesterday morning we were off to St Pauls, which was very ...

I am looking to explore the world, travel and take in lots of sights, sounds and culture. I have been looking to take a short holiday abroad before going on a worldwide trip. So far Expedia and Cheap Holiday Deals from Fleetway have offered some of the best holiday options. I will keep everyone updated with my progress.

... in dryer. At this point our clothes were only mildly damp, and we had spent a far portion of the morning in the Laundry mat, not enjoying the sights of London. So we gave up and hung all our clothes in our hotel room, chinese laundry style (this will be a recurring theme in our travels...). The first sight on our list of things today was the Tower of London. Despite our best efforts the scaffold alluded us. We did however see where ...

... grounds at Magdelen college are huge and beautiful. Oxford had/has the biggest parks that go on forever and downtown is fun with all the college age students. We came back from Oxford back to London to stay with Brad one more night. We ended up going to the Camden district of London to meet Mariiane's friend Rachel. We ended up as luck would have it in the only gay bar in all of northern London and had a blast. We had no idea until we ...

Today's word of the day is "busking". The Underground stations have signs which say "No busking allowed". I had no clue what they were talking about, but I looked it up on wikipedia and found it it means street performing. The signs certainly don't stop the street performers, though, since I saw several yesterday and today in the passages between stations (maybe they're allowed in those but not in the stations themselves). One guy ...

... our bags and out of the door by 11pm and there was a pretty small amount of arguing and grumpiness involved - which was amazing. We did have a slight problem though - we were on our way round the M25 and Julie texted me about something or other and said that they hadn't brought any alcohol, but that we could always drink the stove fuel if it came to it. WWOOOOOah. We needed gas for our stove (well, we don't - it runs on anything, but I ...
