So i was ambitious with this trip. I thought, sure 3 weeks wouldn't be a problem in London since i had no intention of staying inside the small flat to the kids auntie for that long. After all i had lots of plans and the kids were also spending a week with their dad so i figured we could get fed up…

Spent the night at Gatwick airport and awakened to a huge mob at the check-in terminal, literally thousands of people waiting in line. Apparently a huge plot was just uncovered to blow up planes from London to the USA on the very morning I am taking a flight from London to the U…

With no feet left we kept going on! On this day we should go back home to Holland but before that i would like to see some things i had planned to see!! We stayed in the neighbourhood of Hyde Park so the most logical thing to see was Buckingham Palace. We had to take the subway line to Glouchester …

I need to find someone that can invent a teleportation device... I seem to spend just as much time getting to airports and hanging around waiting for my flight as I spend on the actual flights themselves! Oh well... it gets the trip started that much sooner! My friend Jude and I decided that we wa…

So I finally "hopped the pond" to my top international dream destination! Everything just lined up for my first (of many I hope) trip to London: Seat availability, meeting fellow TravBuddies, checking out my favorite hip-hop artist Jay-Z. London's citizens couldn't have been more generous and friendly to me!..Loved it here and I wanna go back....NOW lol..Next time: More days off work!...;)

My last day in London. I had packed everything the day before, so when we got up, we ate breakfast, and then just sat around talking for a bit. When it was time to leave, I said goodbye to Jen (Kristy and Julie had already left for the city), then me, Heather and Sherron left. When we left, it hadn…

I have a special place in my heart for London, England, so it was only fitting that it be my first international destination.  First off a person very dear to me while growing up was obsessed with England.  He knew all the history, made drawings of various sites there and planned on movin…

The night was a lot better then the night before. We didn't even hear 2 other persons coming in, while one of them was sleeping above me in the bunk beds. We packed our bags, checked out, left our luggage in the luggage room and then went to Harrods. Harrods is very very big. But not as amazing as …

Well, I think you all imagine what is this blog about. Yes, is about London and my travel addiction to that city. I came yesterday and I'm already checking flights to go on January. It's that normal? For me London is the most exciting, lively, cosmopolitan, chic and addictive city in Europe!

Although this entry says London we didn't get to London until around 9:30pm but I decided that I should put the location as where I spent that night. We had to check out of St. Christophers at 10 but our train didn't leave till 4 so we had some time to kill. Melissa and I became very good at killin…

It would be easy, too easy, to say that the reason for making my second-ever visit to The Netherlands exactly four weeks after my first was simply to satisfy my craving for stroopwafels. The truth is that my first visit, to the Leeuwarden meet-up, was so enjoyable that the prospect of a second meet…

So the festivus of New Year's in London was pretty much a night of us being completely unorganized and trolling the city looking for food.  Not much different from any other night, you might be thinking, but you would be wrong.  Because it was loads of fun, we ate at this restaurant calle…

Lori meets us for some sushi and drinks.  Happy hour in Camden, get droooonk, find a club in the West End, all randomly/circumstancially crash in Barnet.

We had actually bought tickets for this gig way back in march i think it was, before i went on holiday. I'd actually forgotten about it until the tickets came through the door a week before! It was a nice surprise, considering i hadn't been to a gig since seeing Hot Hot Heat, which was just af…

It's a bittersweet tradition the morning I leave London back to the States - I'm happy I'm going home but I'm sad I'm leaving London, but I'm also happy this is the day I force myself EARLY out of bed to go walking around London when the rest of London is asleep. So, as per my tradition, I wok…
