I want to take a vacation with crystal. Not just a vacation to Newport, a real vacation, out of the state. perhaps out of the country. I’ve always had an obsession with all things British. I’ve had dreams about going to London, England.

Just quickly looking it would cost about $1200 for the both of us to go. I am saving. I would save alot more, if the damned Wal-Mart stock would actually go up instead of going south. I think after Crystals bill is paid I’m gonna try and save on my own some more money to get us over there. I’d love to go for 2 weeks. Course 2 weeks is not enough time to fully explore London, and still have enough time for a side trip into Paris. I had 2 travel books on the London area, they were mostly memorised, and I had highlighted things that I wanted to do. I think I might, sooner or later go out and get another one, jsut to see how much things have changed.

Who wouldn’t want to go here:
One of the world’s most famous department stores, established in 1849 as a humble grocery store employing two assistants. Today, it offers everything from food to fashion, furniture to sportswear plus 20 in-store restaurants serving every kind of cuisine imaginable from pizza to sushi. Services range from piano tuning to fitting saddles. Must-see sights include the Food Halls, the Egyptian Hall and the Pet Department. At night the store is illuminated by 11,500 light bulbs.

When I was younger, this was where I wanted to live, I was even at the point where I was emailing business in the London area, and one was very interested in me, but told me they would not help with the travel/work visa, but would be happy to bring me on board once I was settled in London.

Theres so many things I would want to do there. Tower of London, Westminster Abby, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square. Dude, I once memorised the map of the tube system. I have a hardon for London. I want a british accent.
