London Baby

After a couple of great sleeps we've finally made it to my 'Father(s) Land'! Again, M&D were so grateful to have me with them - we skip all the queues! Uncle Steve Franklin was there waiting for us - what a great uncle he is: he was up at 3am to pick us up for 5.30! He drove us all the...

London Day 1

We arrived in London this afternoon, and to our surprise, the hotel had sent a driver for us...here we are, ready to head down and board the tube, and here's a driver with our name on a little board, ready to take us to our hotel...we were quite pleased! Our hotel...the Park City...is by far...

Made it after 33 hrs or so travelling...

Mind the gap

Just got back from looking around downtown London. The atmosphere is great. I love the cobblestones, they just seem to add so much character. We got home at about twenty past five, Shelley hit the wall and went to sleep as soon as we got back. We took the Jubilee line from where we're...

London St Pancras

We're at the St Pancras station, waiting to take the eurostar to Paris. The flight was ok, a bit cramped for 71/2 hours...that's what we get for booking reward travel, I guess. This train station is nicer than any airport I've seen in the US...we're still getting along, although I just...
