After much deliberation and thought and weighing the cost vs the opportunity and finally saying "oh, just do it" I am taking off next week for a short ten day trip to London. Lucky enough to have United Airline miles to get me there and back, I have booked hotels and nothing else. My plan is to simply walk around the city, looking windows, eat fish and chips and drink gin and tonics. And pints of ale. And whiskey. And anything else that sounds good. Eating different food (not just fish and chips) from different countries, or English food prepared in some English way. Honestly, I have no agenda except to enjoy London, a huge city that I visited once, 40 years ago!
Needless to say, I am quite excited. I promise to report on my adventures when I return.
And just to let you know, in case anyone actually reads this besides Donna, the obtaining of the new passport was incredibly easy. All done online and the new passport was in my mailbox in less than 4 weeks. If you don't have a valid passport, get one. Online, through the mail, or go to a nearby post office and they can handle all of it for you. A passport is not just a travel necessity, it is a statement of citizenship. Everyone should have one.
Cheerio!
