Marching along to March

[paragraphs]

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!

Sounds fantastic! I can only imagine which beach you're referring to...

A word re: Priscilla - try to spend a bit extra to NOT sit in the upper circle. My sister and I were there last year, and it was the steepest, tightest, warmest theatre-going experience of our lives.

So you recommend Stalls or something? I'm teeth crunchy a bit about price of tickets for Priscilla (dude. Dude.) so ngah, I'd hate to have to shell out that much. Hmm.

Maybe dress circle? I mean, that's the reason we were up in the gods, but it was BAD. My sister's a petite thing, and she had her chin on her knees.

I was sitting in Upper Circle or whatever, in the New Theatre in cardiff and dude, that was also not a knee friendly experience for me or the people in front of me, so I can quite picture that, actually, yeah. Ah natch. I'll have a think about it
