Well faithful readers, we've got some big news to share! I've been holding back on sharing this information until things were more official, but I think it's finally time to let it out.
We're taking a vacation!
But not just any vacation.... we're headed to....
Have you figured it out yet? Maybe this last one will help
If you guess London then you're exactly right! (Cue Austin Power's "Yeah baby".) One of my good (and brilliant) friends is studying at the London School of Economics (as is her boyfriend), so we decided it was the perfect time to plan a vacation over there. After all, it just doesn't get any better than having two personal tour guides who will also give you a free place to crash. And thankfully our availability for traveling there did not coincide with the Olympics; we probably wouldn't be able to afford to go to any events anyway, and now we don't have to deal with the over-crowding and jacked-up prices. We booked our tickets last night (eek!) so it's no longer something we're "just talking about" but now something that is officially going to happen (unless we want to pay ridiculous cancellation fees). And now that we have the dates set and plane tickets purchased (which will hopefully be the biggest expense), it's time to settle down and figure out an itinerary. Or at least a vague idea thereof--I don't want to plan our trip down to the last second (vacations with my family are like that and they drive me crazy!), but since this will probably be the only time we'll be in London I do want to have some sort of a "to-do" list so we can maximize our time. So I'm looking to you readers--what do you recommend? What do you think we should absolutely make sure we do? And since we love our food (and spirits!), what are pubs and restaurants that we need to make sure to check out? Any suggestions are welcome!
