... credit from our London Pass; the kids bought more souveniers and I got a bottle opener - need something to open the Grange when in Paris. It's great red drinking weather here; will have to purchase some glasses and buy a French wine. Thames Cruise. We then got on the Thames Cruise Hop on Hop Off boat (normally 50 pounds for the family; free with the London Pass). When around this area it hailed and was bitterly cold. We motored through ...

... then onto the Victoria line to Finsbury park where magically the Picadilly line was now running! Just after 6.30 I finally arrived at my car very cross to have to start the drive down to Fordingbridge! Luckily I had a good run down and made it here in just over 2 hours which was OK to a nice warm bedroom and no work the following day! Though it has still taken me until now (Jan 18) to finish updating this thing................

Looking back at the last year I spent living in London, working in the UK and traveling all over Europe, many of my peers would have to agree that it was the best year of our life and we'd give anything to go back.. (including consideration of changing our identities so we could apply for the program all over! haha Agata!) I just finished reading "Honeymoon with my Brother" a memoir about two brothers who ...

... t really need to, which is why I totally accepted the fact that I paid for a cab to drive me 8 blocks from the train station to the closest BART. Yes, I should have walked. Lesson learned. I also now know that you really don't need to check your bags on the train because they have this great little room that you can just throw your bags. Of course risking getting things ripped off if you do is taken into account. At any rate, I ride the BART to ...

One of the lessons learned in earlier travels with children - look for cottages/cabins/flats/apartments/house rentals so that you don't always have to go somewhere or look for restaurants, and everyone can kick back and relax once in a while. This was a good find, except for the travel time.

... I didn't really know where I was going or what I was doing. I had looked at London maps before going, but had no idea how close or far apart places were. To my luck, I was able to see pretty much all the main attractions I had thought of seeing and the weather was nice (only a slight sprinkle at one point), so it was perfect to get around in. First I took the Underground to Hyde Park Corner where I walked through Green Park and along the ...

... before he went to work the missed connections meant biding my time until 3pm when he could meet me. So, with a few hours to spare (and already 55 hours after I had left my front door in balmy Marrickville) I stowed my luggage at Paddington Station and went to the British Museum. It had been almost ten years since I had set foot in that magnificent building and my ability to appreciate its contents had grown immeasurably. Especially since ...

... understood his showmanship as being in line with some of Europe's more daring avant-garde artistic movements. When attending a Sun Ra concert, you would not watch a group of self-absorbed free jazzers hoping to be revolutionary; you witnessed a theatrical and musical masterpiece that was unlike anything else. Depending on the circumstances he may well have had up to 60 musicians on stage with him. Although issued a birth certificate from the state of Alabama, Sun Ra's ...

... flats or low heels as i'll be on my feet all day and a strappy top of some sort. the real problem is what the hell to wear on the train over, as i've got a 4 hour train ride from paris and i wanna look sexy for my travelling companion...will just have to see what the weather is like on the day!
