The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
I just posted all my trip entries. They're back dated, so for your convenience, here are links, and yes, all links are polite and pop new windows:
Day 1 – Thames water front
Day 2 – St-James Park, Buckingham Palace, Leicester Square
Day 3 – Madame Tussaud & Baker Street
Day 4 – British Museum & Imperial War Museum
Day 5 – Tate Gallery and Cirque du Soleil
I'll be posting pictures as soon as I'm back on broadband.
I have tons of LJ entries that I wrote on my laptop when we were in London, but the lack of internet access prevented their posting. I'm going to get those online in the next few days, as well as pictures from my trip. In a nutshell, I had a blast. London is big, bustling, fast, lovely, quirly, loud, expensive. Getting back into the day to day grind is going to be rough, especially given that Katy is still there and I'm here, and that's going to suck the big hairy ass.
It's 10pm local, therefore my brain thinks it's 3am. Loads of fun. My last meal was… way to long ago, really. I'm hungry, so I'm going to type this entry and go grab a bite to eat and then crash HARD.
— this is something I wrote while sitting at the gate
It's 2:30 and I'm sitting outside my gate. Katy is on her way back to Leicester as I write this. This has to be the quickest check-in in history. Baggage checking took a whole 2 minutes and the security scan didn't take that much longer. I didn't beep! Not once! Not even a small one! So now I'm sitting outside my gate with little over 2 hours of waiting time in front of me. I had a bit of a scare when I tried to open the gate doors and set off the alarm, but it was nice and shut up when I closed the door. The gate isn't opened yet. From what I've been hearing up and down this lounge, I take it I'm not the only one to have done this.
I miss Katy already. It's going to be rough not having her close. I've decided to kidnap her when I have a better idea of her schedule.
As a side note, the Luggage tried to eat a small child. Go Luggage!

The flight was uneventful, and I spent 7 hours sitting on my duff reading the DaVinci Code. I'm almost done. It's a good book.
FOOD!
