Hehehe oh I'll probably never get to sleep the night before, I will feel like a little school kid waiting for Christmas day to arrive. You can all expect me to arrive, looking awful with huge bags under my eyes from lack of sleep! :wah:

I'm only joking Jenny. Raven knows far more about London than I do....she'll make sure you have all the info. you need. This will be quite an adventure for you. London is an amazing city and really quite small so that getting to see the sights is easy. You can get an open top tourist bus that takes you all round the city and you can jump on and off and go and visit anything that takes your fancy.

hehehe me too! But its soooooo worth it!

Oh I've seen the Jack the Ripper tour and the London Dungeon. Both are excellent, especially the dungeon, very, very creepy let me tell u. Though the scariest thing in the whole place, was..............



the price of the souvenirs!! :wah:

I was just teasing sweety. I'll get some info for you. I'm sure there ARE places you wouldnt want to get stuck in. London isnt real british anymore. There are alot of different pockets you should avoid. I'll get you more specifics.

I havent done either yet, and I've been here for TWO years!

The London dungeons are fantastic and really creepy. The Tower of London is fantastic as well....and don't forget Covent Garden and Petticoat lane....and a trip on the river specially up to Hampton Court.....I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Thanks a million guys . I know you were only kidding :wah:

I lived in NY for a year and a half and there are a few corners there that you wouldn't want to get lost in but that's even the same for over here in Cork.

I suppose there are dark corners in every big city.

I'm very excited. Is there a wax museum in London? :driving:

Yep so true, we could go on for ages, mentioning all the places that you could visit given time.



And let's just hope that the tube station call is better than the last time I was there. Could hardly hear what they were saying, and if it wasn't for the map that we had bought before hand would of gotten so lost.

Thanks Bez,

I'm getting all excited now about this trip. I would actually love to see the Dungeons and the Tower. I'm totally into all paranormal. Cool....

Yuk ... the tube....don't mind travelling on the underground, just scared of getting lost.

Oh there definately is a wax's work. There seemingly is a Madame Tussauds in nearly every big city today.

I bet on a count of 10, everyone's excitment level is on about 1,000. Well mine is anyway hahaha.


Mine too

As you are staying for a few days, you could do both as they're reasonably close but opposite sides of the river.

Well with us all there to help each other, and all the preparations being done before the day, I'm sure no-one will get lost on the day!!

Cool there will be so much to do, I don't know how to fit it all in. And of course I will have to squash in lunch with Wills sometime otherwise he will be incredibly disappointed :p

We are hoping to arrive on Friday and leave on Tuesday

I would also love to go see a pyschic. I know it sounds a bit corny but I think it would be fun

I can always put the Sat Nav in my bag



And then there's our mobiles..

I think you are right there. I would offer up my cell/mobile phone number if anyone needed it but, the roaming fee would be horrific as it would have to roam from London, to way western Canada and back... ouch. I suspect roaming charges for any of us will be a tad costly as no one is from London huh. I am certain everyone will do just fine. You all are amazing at getting this to happen.

Raven wrote: LOL!! Cant you see us all holding hands to cross the street?:wah:


:wah: Oh that would be so funny. You are going to have to be our tour guide Raven, and we can all follow behind u with cameras intact whilst u point out this and that to us all.

Yeah my mobile works everywhere. I will PM you guys nearer to the date with the number

Daniel said he would be glad to take the photos and I bought him a new camera last year and I have great peace ever since :sneaky:

Oh this is sooooooooooooooooo exciting. I'm even going to be counting down the days, every day.

I am over the moon with excitement. I have a new suit case and new back pack so far, I have a list of essentials going

I have been hunting for a rain coat (something in plastic with daisy's ahahaha that is my threat anyway) but due to the fact it is still winter here, the spring gear isn't quite out in the shops yet. It may be my birthday purchase just before I go.

I think shock pink pvc would suit you sweety!;)
