As we landed, our faces were glued to the window of our 757 as if we'd never seen the neatly hedgerowed fields and terminal drizzle of that place we used to call home......... England! We had resisted long enough and finally made our way back to my husband's home turf.  It wasn't exactly…

My 2nd day in London started earlier than I had expected. I had no troubles sleeping in the hostel room with 3 other people, but I did wake up a time or two as others filtered out early in the morning. I wasn’t upset by this, because I had reserved a tour at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croque…

Well, the last day in London came to quickly! But still I was determined to enjoy every minute of it! So first we walked a little through Hyde Park and than we went to the Tower, tower bridge and HMS Belfast to shoot some pictures of it. We saw those attractions before on trips to London…

We saw Billy Elliot Monday at  Victoria Palace Theatre, the musical was good. It was hilarious at some parts but I was definitely a little buzzed already when we were watching since I had a good amount of beers and rum beforehand and while the show was on. After the we finished watching the mu…

2 days until we go! Packing going surprisingly well and I have resisted my usual urge to take 5 paris of shoes.
