The Malpensa Express was a success. We arrived at the airport with time to spare...which came in handy as we tried to navigate through to our gate. Apparently Britsh Airways is having a fight with the airplane caterers and our complete meal service was replaced by a Sandwich labeled simply "egg and mayonnaise". Now, if that doesn't whet your appetite, I don't know what will. Needless to say, we passed. After taking the Paddington Express train from the airport to Paddington Station Shelbi and...
London, United Kingdom choyt1427It's been ages since we last wrote in our old travel blog so there's plenty to get down. I guess one of the most significant changes in the last couple of months for me (Jamie) has been leaving my NINO finding buddies down in Putney to work for Yahoo! in the West End. I'm working in the finance department for one of the companies they acquired called Kelkoo or Yahoo! shopping in Oz. The position is contracts and traffic analyst, which when I applied for it I honestly thought it would have som...
London, United Kingdom jai_82Off we went for a ride on the "Eye". This was a great place to start because you are able to see the whole city. We needed an afternoon snack - Harrod's here we come. Ha rrod's is a gorgeous department store. We rode the Egyptian Elevator and heard the wonderful sounds of an opera singer on the balcony of Fine Furnishings. How luxerios. Demonstrations were heavy on Trafalgar Square. A visit to Convant Gardens ended our first day with huge laughs, The Chainsaw Juggler was in rare form.

We took the scenic boat tour from Westminister up the Thames River (just like Henry VIII) to the London Tower. The crown jewels were spectacular. Bob was ...
London, United Kingdom klfoley Yesterday, our last day on the ship, passed by rather quietly and low-key. There was last minute packing, a little bingo for Bernie and Steph (they lost), book reading, and the like. No crazy fashion shows, creepy tour guides, or crazy excitement.
We got off the ship after breakfast to take the train back to London. Our trip back into town was much less eventful then our trip out to the ship (if you recall, we were in the middle of the tube strike at the time!). Once in town, we checke...
