IT and I leave on the 23rd for our three-week trip to London and Paris. Send a PM to either of us if you'll be in the area and want to get together. Hooray -- three weeks vacation starting this Saturday!!! ![]() ![]()

I usually am, but not this year. My best friend from England and her mom are here for a week, though, so it's alright. |
| And how are you today? | |

I'll probably be in London the week of the 2nd (although it could be the following week). When will you be in London? |

That sounds absolutely magical. I can imagine London at Christmas will be so beautiful. I remember the strings of blue lights where we stayed (south end of Westminster Bridge); walking along the water and looking across....it was beautiful in the summer, and I can just imagine how much more so it would be at this time of year. Enjoy!

Tips for foreign visitors in Great Britain: 1. On entering a railway carriage, be sure to shake hands with all passengers. 2. All London brothels display a blue lamp. (Gerard Hoffnung) |

We're in London December 24 - 31. Then we're traveling west to see friends -- Bath, Wells, etc. Then we're off to Paris. Back in London on the 11th for a couple of days. |

when i lived in london in 2001-2002, some guys were chatting me up on a train to Surrey and noticed after I spoke several words that i have an American accent. they seemed quite surprised and one said, "you don't look American." was that a compliment? :lol: |
