Hey Nancy! Wonderful to hear about your day!

(It has been ages since I have been to alive performance and London really is the place to see the very best. Were the tickets expensive? Here (Toronto) good tickets to shows are around C$80.000)

Looking forward to your return...

Nancy visits the queen! Way to go, Nancy. Glad you found a cheaper place to use the internet. I was starting to organize a bake sale to keep you in business.

Nancy, it sounds like you are having a really good trip. I think it would be great to see you on the webcam. Can you post what time you will be on I will try catch you. Except, i don't know what you look like, can you give basic description so I can see youthen.
I love London, been there many times. Which hotel are you staying at? I know London like a second home almost. Maybe I can give you some tips on some places close by.

Yes nancy, can understand busy, last days in London, i am most often busy. Would have been great to see you on webcam, a friend of mine did that from France, it was great. Maybe next time, I am sure you will want to go back to London.

Millenium Glouchester, i think if memory serves me correctly it is a newer hotel. I have stayed at the Gainsborough twice before, a little cheaper, but closer to some of the areas i need to access.

Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Nancy, I just finished reading this whole thread and it sounds like your trip to England was filled with a variety of experiences - even meeting HRH Basil. Thanks for taking the time to share your moments with us "across the pond".

Welcome back!!
