London to do list: Climb the dome at St Pauls – tick; visit Madame Tussaud’s – tick; watch a show in the West End – tick. And that was only one day. The week started off by waiting for over three hours in line for tickets to Wimbledon and we only ... Read more >

Don't you want me baby?

Sun, 3 Jul 2011 | By lillywanders | Views [351]

The US of A WANTS me! I exagerate... I have merely obtained my USA visa waiver, a snip at $14. Everything I buy at the moment seems to be a snip...but then you add it up and come to a mouthwatering total which really doesn't bear thinking about. ... Read more >

Take off minus 22 days

Stonehenge and Avebury

The first major town we came to was Southampton, the port city where the big cruise ships dock.  The hotels were booked but we found the Rivendell B&B, a nice place just out of town.  Staying in B&Bs costs a bit more than cheap hotels ... Read more >

Life on the Wrong Side of the Road

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 | By vagabonds | Views [896]

The "Chunnel" train click-clacked us from hot, sweltering Paris to cool, damp London in just over two hours.  It doesn't seem like an especially fast train, nor is it luxurious.  And it is expensive, $350 round-trip.  But it sure ... Read more >

So I have one red eye down and one more to go.  Normally I am fine with this but today red eye is a term to be taken literally.  I am writing bleary eyed at this computer screen in an effort to start my travel blog.  As most of you know I have already ... Read more >
