for the next adventure, john and i are headed to england and tunisia from 9/3 to 9/13.  we made it to england on the red eye and i slept the entire time.  a first for me.  usually i can’t sleep on planes but i was so tired from work and moving into the new place on macdougal that i would have slept standing up if i had to. 

anyways, we made it to london.  checked into the le meridien at piccadilly circus.  since i am a gold member, they upgraded us to a club suite.  and it is suite.  huge room with a foyer.  we met up with john’s friend conrad at the airport and he showed us around central london.  it was a great day, but chilly.  i am glad i packed some warm clothes even though in a few days i will be in the desert. 

london is a beautiful city and has the same feel as new york city. we walked around the embankment, crossed the millenium bridge to the tate modern, back around the embankment and crossed to head up to liecester square to wrap back around to piccadilly. after conrad departed, we aimlessly walked around and had a couple drinks on old compton street. i love the architecture of the city and the amazing similarity to new york’s villages. our itinerary is wide open but we are planning on meeting up with more of john’s friends who will guide us in the direction of cool places. plus, ali gave us some great ideas on where to go, so we will check those out as well.

one annoying aspect is finding cheaper/free access to the internet. it is going to be a challenge.  i’m sure it will be an even greater challenge trying to find a place in tunisia.  i will update when i can, but the pictures may have to be added when i return.  bummer.
