We have been looking into things to do in London as my 'travel agent' says we should really try to do something in London... still not sure where the hell we'll end up going. So I was looking through this site of things to do and this thing pops up

Given purely time, anything becomes a money maker - even tragedies. Remember after 9/11? Movies had to edit the towers out, cos people were so raw and sensitive. They've released a motion picture about it since, and now sell memorial trade center crap via cheesy commercials. It almost reminds me of the "Jarod has AIDS" South Park episode. "Anything's funny after 20 years!"

My main point was to say, I'd HAVE to go to the London Dungeon. I always have that Misfits song in my head!

That's true. I suppose there are no close relatives left from all those tragedies featured at the London Dungeon... it would be awful if there were. I'd hate to have something horrible happen to my family and then have people pay to relive it.

I am still quite confused as to how I feel about the London Dungeon overall... it's just an odd concept. lol How about you go first and tell me if it's any good? lol

I'm not into drinking at all... but I will definitely be making an exception on this trip :)

I will definitely go see the area of town where the murders occurred. I just wont go to an amusement park to go on a 'ride' that replicates the scene.

LOL this entry made me laugh i never really thought of it like that but when you put it like that....ermmm LOL

'feel the fear... and have fun' lol Scary things can be fun. This one is just odd.

I just keep trying to imagine modern events one day showing up in a place like that. Can you imagine having an exhibit where you can experience what it was like trying to escape the twin towers after they had been hit in the States? That's just not right. But in a hundred years perhaps my great grandchildren will be visiting an attraction like that.

Dicken's World sounds more like my cup of tea. Do they show anyone getting torn apart or blown up or dying from a plague? lol

Which part of England do you live in? I'm sure that's too far a drive for us to visit Dicken's World anyway. I'm still not sure how my travel agent expects us to squeeze in London, Scotland and Manchester all in 7 days. All that travel time and how many stops we are going to have to make yelling at each other about how to drive.... lol It's just not going to work.

Well i wouldnt have thought theyd have done a film about the twin towers etc but it didnt take that long or lady diana stuff either but where money is made and i guess history told

I want to travel so bad, I have the travel bug. I have always wanted to go see castles in England.. or all over islands! Wales has some of the most haunted castles and some of the coolest museums. Since Daniel was born there we plan to go there some day. :)

I have never done any traveling till this year. Our trip to Florida was in September and now we've booked this London trip.... I am finding I'm really enjoying planning and getting very excited to see all these new places. This could get addicting... and expensive. lol
