From July 13th to the 28th (coming home on the 29th) I will be seeing [livejournal.com profile] cruentum at long last! It has been over a year, with LOTS of changes for both of us in our lives. Lots and lots.

I am just so ready to get out of here, go see beautiful places (London, Cardiff, and many other places to see!). Nick PROMISES we will go to Caerphilly Castle (we kinda couldn't find it last time) and I will be renting a vehicle so we can explore different places every day once we get back to Plymouth. There are tons of gorgeous places in Devon and Cornwall to explore, all within just a few hours of Nick's home.

WHEE!

If you ever get the chance, take it. I can't afford to travel but am doing it anyway. LOL. It is a wonderful thing to go places one's never been. Seriously wonderful. :)

Of course seeing Nick again finally is the icing on the cake!

Yay! Have an amazing time!!

I know you're renting a car, but a few easy buses go to Caerphilly Castle from the central bus station in Cardiff. And the drivers are lovely about telling you when to get off. So...just another option. *shrug*

Have fun on the C roads! :D

we've decided to take the train to the castle! Last time we just drove all over, and ended up finding a gorgeous park by accident and ran around there for awhile. Will be relying on trains for a few things though I'll have the car. Sometimes that is just easier.

And don't worry--this will be my third time to drive there. I have it DOWN, baby, DOWN. LOL. Nick's going to drive there for the first time though--he needs the practice. Now the scary thing is when he drives, I will be the navigator.

Um. Yeah. This could be scary... :)

Sometimes public transportation in the UK is waaay easier. (Except on Sunday mornings) But car freedom is also fantastic.

Ha, enjoy navigating! Remember - pressing down on the imaginary gas petal on your side of the car doesn't actually change anything, but it can make you feel better. :D

Chris and family have been seeing as much as they can, as they have to return the 21st. She couldn't find work there, sadly.

Oh I am so sad!! Dang it!! :*( I know they have loved being there. So what do they plan to do now?

Me too on the safe trip. I am determined to be a healthy banana the whole time. Too often I end up with a cold!

He's hoping to get a pharmacy tech job. And do some pharmacy training at the college here. He is waiting for his British certification.
She's not sure what she is going to do right now.
And yes, they did love it. Maybe they will be able to go back one day.

The cold is from the change in weather. ;)
Good luck! Maybe that... Airborne stuff would help.
Or just take some extra vitamin C. :)

I will be in London from the 15th to the 20th and go to Canterbury (DiaCon Alley) from 21st to 24th.

If you happen to be in London at the same time, we could try to meet up. What do you think?

I will visit [livejournal.com profile] waterbird over the weekend and then meet up with [livejournal.com profile] celta_diabolica from Monday on - we will also travel to DiaCon Alley (a HP con in Canterbury from Thursday to Sunday) together.

Those ten days are all about having fun in London together with friends, and then jumping into HP and being a total fangirl.

So I'll never be actually alone in London, but I think that for example Diabolica and I could easily have a meet up with you and Nick. Do you already know on which days you will be in London?

We'll be in London literally 14th through to the 17th, so Thursday to Sunday morning (leaving for Cardiff then) so meeting at any point Friday or Saturday would work for us I think if we can nail down a time and place.

LOL! I gave up while on vacation, but am back and hoping to rectify my ten days without words. But seriously, it'd be a waste of time if you two be writing if you're pulling off to the side of the road. :P

Have a great trip! I'm sure you'll both have a good time over here. Just a pity the weather is so poor, but perhaps someone will have found our summer by then?

As it happens, we're hoping to go to Caerphilly Castle on Saturday because somehow I missed out on visting that one and G says it's the best of the Welsh castles.

The weather will be great. I have declared it so.
