My plan is to go to London. I have not figured out all the details, such as maybe flying into Paris and hanging out there for a few days before heading across the Channel, or maybe playing in Scotland for a few days, but I know the dates I would like to go: leave Friday evening October 5 and return Sunday October 14. That would give me a full week to play. This way I can also take advantage of Columbus day and only take off 4 days from work. I'm also planning on using my tax return to buy my plan tickets.
I am thinking of reading the following books to prepare me for my journey:
I have no idea why I am suddenly obsessed with London. It might have something to do with the fact that it is far away, but they still speak English, so it feels accessible but not too normal.
The plan right now is to travel with my friend Ami. I am slightly concerned as she wants her boyfriend to come too, and like Katherine Heigel's character in 27 Dresses, I don't know how to say no. It's not that I don't like him, but it would be cheaper if it were the 2 of us and we split the cost of hotel rooms instead of me having to get my own room and the two of them splitting. I also really don't want to be the 3rd wheel. I know they wouldn't consciously put me in that position, but come on, when traveling with a couple you are kind of thrust into it whether it is meant or not. In any case, I'm not going to worry about that just yet. Instead, I am going to get excited, read up on London, and get ready for my first trip in far too long.
Patience, restless feet, you will be traveling soon!
AWESOME! You should totally do it. I wish I had the money/time to go to London :)
