Well, yesterday I was browsing for flights to London, but .... an hour later, the woman from the Temp. Agency rang and said she has a job for me, starting on monday. I didn't think she'd be that quick, I just finished another job. I will be working at The Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs until 25th August.
I really would have loved to come, but hopefully another time. :) Anyway, it would probably be near impossible to get Fister booked in a good pension at this time, and also I think John's sister and BIL are in USA.
Hope you'll all have a great time!! :D
SURPRISE!!!
By the end of the week I will know if we will be able to "escape" to London!!
I am busy looking how to book on the Eurostar train (under the Channel), and also for a hotel in London.
We know a pretty little hotel near the Lancaster Gate Underground. I think the name is "Lancaster Court"; but I cannot find it on-line.... . Help ???
We would stay for 2 nights
Lut is the the hotel?

Oh my gosh, YES!!! Wow, how did you find it? I tried it for hours on internet ... :o . THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!Quote:

Karen, I know you like to comment that I always look different. So as not to confuse you, here is a picture of me taken two nights ago with my most recent hair cut :D I want to make sure you recognize me!

I'm so envious. Lut....Lancaster Gate is where I like to stay in London. On the same square with Lancaster Court is Lancaster Guard....Don and I spent part of our honeymoon there....Guard
There is another on the square I like but I can't find the name....
How thoughtful! I shall print the photograph and take it with me to compare against everyone in the restaurant! :DQuote:

Is it OK if Alec comes? It looks as if his meeting on Tuesday may be cancelled. So he would be #7.

There are a few webcams in London, here's one in Covent Garden - let us know when you're there! ;) And remember to wave!! :D

Oh, thanks for those links, Randi!! I had a look at Frith Street, and I discovered an Indian Restaurant!! That is one of our plans in London, eat Indian food!!Quote:

For those of you who can get online, you can talk here: http://www.icq.com/groups/chat.php?gid=12035605
You don't have to join, just log on as a guest, but say who you are. ;)
Hubby has to work in Brighton all day and daughter has induction day at her new college so it is unlikely that I will be able to join you all after all as there will be no one around to look after the dogs :(
I can't tell you how fed up I am about this - I have been looking forward to it for ages :(
Hope you all have a great time and look forward to seeing the piccies
Fed Up of Eastbourne
Hi everyone! I'm here in London :) It's been a great trip so far, it started out a little on the bad side. I arrived on Wed, but my luggage didn't arrive until Friday! Other than that I've really enjoyed the trip, I've walked all over London and seen lots of museums as well as other sights. Yesterday we were walking down Gabriel's Warf and we found the pizza place that we are going to meet up at. I'm very excited about seeing everyone tomorrow.
Brody'sMum I'm so sorry that you won't be making it tomorrow, I was looking forward to meeting you.
Lut and Barbara I'm so excited that both of you will be able to make it! It's going to be wonderful meeting the both of you.
Lut, I'm staying at the Astor's Victoria.
I'll see you all soon!
Hello London! Are you guys still out partying? I keep checking all day and ....?????
I went over to lunch at Gabriel's wharf yesterday. Unfortunately I had to be back at the office after that- so I could not join Laura, Alexa, Karen, Alec, Lut and Bernard for the aquarium visit. :(
It was lovely weather and we were sitting close at the Thames. As it was lunch time we did NOT have slushies but we were sharing a lot of kitty talk (sorry Alexa ;)- doggie talk as well).
I had no camera with me but pics were taken and I am sure they will be posted as soon as everyone is home- but I think the Scots and the Belgian will stay in sunny London for some more days ;)
Hello, hello! I am still in London, but right now it is raining! :eek: Laura will be so furious if they did decide to go to Paris for the day! Perhaps she can get her money back on that rainjacket when she gets back home. :D
Did you all have a great time? Still :( I couldn't make it in the end but the dogs were pleased to see me :rolleyes:
BACK HOME !!!!
I am exhausted, it was soooo hot and humid in London.... . BUT....
we had a great time!! Of course the PT-meeting was top of the bill :)
We found the Gabriel's Warf very easily; of course :rolleyes: , a place with a name like that.... ;) (Gabriel's Warf--> family Gabriels). I spotted Laura and Alexa who were waiting on a bench in front of the restaurant. Woohoo, that was fun recognizing them!! The next one to arrive was Karen with her hubby Alec. Woohoo, fun again!! After some welcoming (=hugging :D ); we went inside to have lunch. And..... who arived then???? Our Barbara!! Woohoo!!!
We had a vivid conversation during lunch. Of course, lots of the talking was about our pets. I think I really talked to much, but I couldn't help myself ;)
I was so disappointed that Denise (Brody's Mom) couldn't make it.... :( . As I couldn't open the pm she send me, I did NOT know she wouldn't be there untill Laura told me :( .
I took a billion of pics, and I promise to post some asap; that will be tomorrow I hope, because right now I am sooooooooo tired!!
This was a great meeting!! :)
here is 1 teaser pic

Hey, the first pics are coming! Great, but what, only one pic :confused: I think we have to wait a bit more. It seems you had great time! A restaurant table full of PT'ers talking, talking and talking again, I am sure we missed something :D
We talked and talked and talked; I even forgat to eat :rolleyes:Quote:
