48 days after today to go...and I am back with Nick! We're meeting in London on March 23rd, bright and shiny in the morning, for 8 nights of adventure (geesh I better do my vacation days when I get to work lol). We'll first head to Cardiff via train where we will, of course, stay at Ty Rosa. Just booked that. Plans are to tromp around, visit Nick's favorite beach, perhaps rent a car a couple of days and zoom around a bit (avoiding ALL C ROADS GOT THAT NICK?) and enjoy staying at Ty Rosa, and eating those marvelous breakfasts, seeing Stuart and Paul (and Keith) again, and playing with Max. Maybe they'll let us take him on a walk! If not, play with him for sure. Got the same room as last time--Caerphilly Castle--and hopefully we'll miss trash day. Hate trash day (evil seagulls, though the experience helped me later with a fic).
Then it is back to London for four nights. We're staying at the Chelsea House Hotel. It will be an experience! We refuse to pay the big bucks just to sleep--we know we'll get our best hotel (okay B&B) experience in Cardiff, but we're not going to London to stay in a fancy hotel room. We'd rather spend our money on having a good time doing things. So we got a good decent place with decent ratings, and will be headed out to tromp around like crazy every day.
We also plan to see a show or two. Probably Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Haven't bought those tickets yet, or the airline tickets, but that I'll get taken care of when I get my tax refund on the 12th. Probably flying Air Canada. Maybe. We'll see...
A little shorter trip this time, but packed full of fun. After last time, when we went to Germany and stayed at Nick's flat, I think we were both rather mopey and worn down. LOL. This will work much better and whee, London! I didn't see enough of it last time!
Okay better get to the shower!
48 days to go!
