i have been told i am going to the UK, and have been told that the company is picking up the tab.. however i have not been given the company card to make the flight plans yet. grrrrr. frustrated. if all goes as plans i will be flying in from MD sunday morning, running home, packing and getting back on a plane bound for london at 730pm!! i will land in london at 7am monday(UK time... 2 am our time) and then find my way to work for 9am and work all day. :) then of course i will have to hit the pubs!!! :) i plan to totally take advantage of the pubs there. katie also said a new law was passed that allows the pubs to stay open all night instead of closing at 11pm. visiting the pubs is the one thing that i feel i didn't see enough of in ireland. i wish we had spent MUCH more time drinking.. i wonder if absinthe is legal in london and if i can get some..
i am soooo excited. this is what i have on my list of things to do while i am there. please chime in if you see something that i didn't list and you think i should see.(i've left a lot of the typical touristy things off the list because having seen and done a lot of that crap in ireland i realized that most of that crap is over-rated, and if and when i move to london, i can take guests to do those silly things then.
1. the nutcrackers that guard the queen.
2. i want to see where prince charles lives.
3. i want to see the camden area.
4. london bridge falling down.
5. The Tate Modern
6. katie tells me there are movie theaters where you buy a seat, like at the theater. the closer you are the more expensive.
7. this place looks cool for lunch some day. however we are located at 77 oxford. hmmm. that seems to be a long walk.
8. i see that a cirque show called algeria is there too. from 16 quid to 55 quid. i'm gonna get in trouble over there, cause i looked up the money and its all different colours (hee hee) it'll be just like in ireland when we were playing with all that monopoly money.
on a non london related note.. i made the fondues tonight for tomorrows dinner. and god damn if the cheese fondue is not the best shit on earth. its a mushroom brie fondue. sooooooo good.
