Thanks for checking in Nancy. Sounds like a great time. But yikes, $12 for a half hour internet time. My time in Sydney was $3 AU for unlimited, $2 for an hour, $1 for a half hour, or $1.50, $1 and 50 cents U.S. That was probably because I was in an area with lots of backpackers and lots of competition.

Enjoy, enjoy.

Nancy,
Isn't Westminster Abbey amazing?! It was strange, though, to realize I was walking over the tops of so many graves. Did you do any of the brass rubbings there? Oh man, I wanna go back to Europe SOOOO bad!!! Thanks for giving us this little travelogue. :)

Thanks, Willi and Soeur for the links. I feel like I'm almost there. Nancy's on my dream trip so I'm loving all the pictures and info. Thanks, Nancy, for sharing. Have a blast!!

I never finished my European trip pages (I'm still working on my scrapbook, too!), but here's a bit of the stuff from that trip in May of 1999. :)

DISCLAIMER: I haven't updated my pages in a LONG time, as you'll see if you go to the home page. I'm also trying to switch ISPs, but it's taking a lot longer than I thought it would, so if the link doesn't work, it's probably because my account has finally been disabled and I moved elsewhere. :)

Thanks for the compliments, folks! :) That was before I got a digital camera, so I never did end up scanning the zillions of pics from the trip to get them posted (takes too long!).
:)

Maybe I'll take some time soon and update those pages.

OH by the way a midsummer nites dream last night was performed with Jemma Redgrave(the youngest of the redgrave sisters) in the lead role of hippolyta she was really great!!! and a woman who plays in some british comedy(the vicar's something or other--donna?? (a rather large woman) sorry i dont watch pbs much!! played the role of bottom--normally a role performed by men---but she was veryyy good --the play started out as if it were in london in the 1940's and then progressed to the forest--
