2006 PT meeting in UK?

**gini** · 01-27-2005, 11:19 AM

Phred!

The Cotswolds - you are talking fairytale land!

Start saving those pennies (and dimes and quarters)!

Where there is a will - THERE IS A WAY!

Can you just imagine being together with Lynne, Chris, Karen, Randi and Lut!!! Having some scones and clotted cream together with a nice spot of tea? MMMMM,

Ohh, how I would love to go! Is England far from Scotland? I would love to see scotland....*dreams*

I'm so jealous of everyone who has people close by for all these meetings. I don't think ANYONE lives near me, so I can never have a meeting. If I have money whenever this one is, I'd really like to go. I doubt I'll ever go to an Ohio meeting simply because I'm to nervous to fly with Zeke, and I won't be going without him.

Oh boy would I love to go to UK and meet all the PT people... but I can't, my parents would have no means to get me an airplane to UK

All this post about the UK, I would love to come and see a bit more of the USA! So far I've only seen northern Florida, I would love to see the Big Apple!

And the Grand Canyon would be amazing. We're never satisfied with our home countries are we?! LOL!

Uabassoon, where abouts are you going? I can help you out with places to see if you like, I probably know the area. I hope you have a great time!

My hostel is in Victoria, which from what I see is pretty much central london. I know for sure that I want to go to the London Aquarium and Dali Universe. I also plan on going clubbing! Then doing some very touristy things like riding the big red bus and going to see a show

But I'll have a week to see things so I'm up for suggestions!

The hostel is also near the tube so it looks like I shouldn't have much trouble getting around.

Just for you Lut, from earlier in the thead.

We booked the hostel because there was only one private double room left and this hostel just looked perfect for us. It's a youth hostel (ages 18-35) so I'm looking forward to meeting new people from all over.

I found a site with photos of every shop/café in certain streets in London, so if you're going to meet up in any of these places, you can see what's there, and will know you're on the right track.

Just click on the street names you want to see.

There are a few webcams in London, here's one in Covent Garden - let us know when you're there!

And remember to wave!!

PS. Check out Frith St. I think you'll like it.

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!!

**Lori Jordan** · 03-21-2006, 12:27 PM

just a quick question is there any meetings in Canada or Ontario?????

**Randi** · 03-21-2006, 12:54 PM

I haven't been there myself yet, but I think you should try The London Eye, you have a pretty good view from up there.

Also, I think you'd enjoy Neils Yard in Covent Garden - if it still exists.

You must go for a stroll along Kings Rd. Take some time to explore it all, there are really very special shops and cafe's.

The tube is a really good and fast way of getting around - although it's not that cheap to travel in the UK anymore.

I've heard that the original red buses have all been changed, so they have doors now - what a shame!! It was so nice to be able to hop on and off whenever they stopped. There must be some left!

I'll try to think of more places and sights to see.

Maybe someone here can help me with this. While I'm there I wouldn't mind taking a day trip to another city. What cities near London make for a good day trip?

**Uabassoon** · 03-23-2006, 12:05 AM

I have a plane ticket! I don't even think I can explain how excited I am, I've wanted to go to London for as long as I can remember. I still can't believe that this is real! I get into London June 28th at 8:00 pm, then I leave London Thurs July 6th at 9:00 am. I celebrated by buying a rain jacket today as I don't own one since it doesn't rain in Arizona!

**gini** · 03-23-2006, 12:51 AM

I can just feel your excitement...........and I am so happy for you.

What a wonderful adventure awaits you.

Glasgow and Edinburgh!!!

However, if you are determined to get back to London every night, then Oxford would probably be my suggestion too. Nothing else comes immediately to mind, but I'm sure there are others who know the area better than I do. A good website for train tickets is www.thetrainline.co.uk. You can get an idea of journey times etc.

It is now almost definite that I will be in London for a few days during the first week of July. HURRAY HURRAY HURRAY!! So count me in! The London Aquarium sounds a great place to meet up. I've never been before, so it will be good to see it.
