my current obsession
perhaps you all have noticed how i get onto a topic and then can't let it go for days and days.
well, this is one of those times, only it's likely to be months and months of obsessing.
tickets: bought! room: booked!
we're leaving september 6th, and will arrive in london the morning of the 7th. we're flying into gatwick, where we'll catch the gatwick express directly to victoria station. from there, it's just a few minutes' walk to our hotel. (http://www.georgianhousehotel.co.uk/)
we hope to visit friends while we're there, but as yet we're not sure if they'll even be in town...either way, we're going to have a fabulous time! we're going to sightsee, people-watch, and soak in as much of london and the surrounding area as we can in 9 days.
we're considering day trips to brighton (england's gay mecca!), bath, cambridge, and paris. i'd also love to visit stonehenge, but have read that you can't get anywhere near the stones, and have to view them from a great distance. still, that's closer than i'll ever be, so we may try it anyway.
my birthday, and our 5th anniversary, is september 8th. we may spend that day in paris. it makes me giggle to even say it: "we're going to spend our anniversary in paris."
we're flying back the 15th; i'll return to work the 19th.
how in the world am i going to wait 3 whole months for this trip? i've wanted to visit england since i was a very little girl. i'm ready to go NOW!!!
