Mind the Gap

You know the woman who does the voice-overs on the London Underground?  The one who says, "Mind the gap!" and all tho

practically perfect in every way...

Monday, 17 July 2006 1:48 P GMT-08
Just got home from a perfect ending to our incredible final weekend in London.  We leave for York tomorrow morning, where I don't *think* we'll have easy internet access, so I must try to encapsulate these last few days in just few short pa

so much to see...so little time...

Friday, 14 July 2006 7:25 A GMT-08
We are having a blast...and I do believe that Tate is having the most fun of all!  For a while there I was starting to get that NYC feeling where there is *so* much I want to see and do and never enough time (and good lord, I thought I had alrea

Success!

Wednesday, 12 July 2006 6:10 A GMT-08
The trip has gotten markedly better since the last time I posted.  The housing situation has improved greatly.  The suite fell through, but that is FINE with me.   Jeremy, Tate and I are in our own, very nice room (our seventh roo

"Kick-a-Ball" fever

Sunday, 9 July 2006 12:38 P GMT-08
World Cup fever has been in full effect here in Leicester Square.  Loud rallies have been taking place all day, with crowds of face-painted, flag-draped kids chanting and bouncing around. (I say "kids," but they're probably in their twenties

Homeless in London

Sunday, 9 July 2006 6:08 A GMT-08
Well, the housing situation here has been tedious, to say the least.  The flat didn't work out for a number of reasons, unfortunately.  It wasn't the flat we originally contracted for, which wouldn't have been such a big deal except the new

we made it!

Friday, 7 July 2006 1:09 A GMT-08
We're here! We're here! We survived the plane ride and have been in London just about 24 hours now.  It is *so* great to be back!  No time to write a thorough, coherent post, so random bulletpoints will have to do for now. *I was awake fo

Welcome to the 30s club

Tuesday, 4 July 2006 11:38 A GMT-08
My 30th birthday yesterday was great!  It was pretty mellow (NYC was the "official" big celebration), but I have managed to eat and drink my way through the entire four-day weekend.  We had breakfast burritos in the morning at our

London activities for toddlers

Sunday, 2 July 2006 9:24 P GMT-08
I'm compiling a list of potential things to do with Tate while we are in London.  This is mainly for my own reference, but if anyone wants to chime in with their two cents, I always welcome input! Princess Diana Memorial Playground Museum of C

random thoughts & updates

Sunday, 2 July 2006 8:59 A GMT-08
In no particular order... *Train tickets to York are booked! (Thanks for the help with that, Taz and pixiewharf!)  Had a momentary brain fart and forgot to write the date Euro-style...could have been disasterous, but fortunately my mistake was

switching gears

Thursday, 29 June 2006 10:11 P GMT-08
Switching gears VERY rapidly here.  I know I just finished recapping our last trip...now I'm knee-deep into last-minute planning of our next trip! (No rest for the weary, eh?) Anyhow, I will probably be littering this blog with all sorts of see

and we call this a "vacation?"

Monday, 13 March 2006 12:40 P GMT-08
My role as an insurance broker has now been replaced with "full-time travel agent."  I spend every free moment (of which there is not much because I am limited to naptimes and after bedtime) planning the two trips we're
