Its hard to be motivated today

What, with it being freezing in here (my hands are like ice) and it being another short week (we're closed on Friday).

I had an idea. I'll use Gram's saving's bond $ to pay for our plane tickets to England. Dionysia sent me a link for www.1800flyeurope.com , and they seem to have tickets round trip for around $250! We need to pick a time, book the plane, and then get to finding a place(s) to say. We'll split our time between London and Scotland.

I must get off my butt and get a passport!

I bought Brian a Frommer's Scotland guide years ago, and now we'll finally use it. We began planning a trip last year and the lack of time for planning (let alone trying to take the time to go there, and pay for ti) while in school turned me off from it. This year, rather than celebrating a significant wedding anniversary (last year it was #5) we'll celebrate 10 years (wow) of being together.

10 years! Congrats. :)

This year Tziz and I are getting passports. We might not go anywhere, but it's good to have one... just in case. I made the joking comment that they would be good to have in case we ever find ourselves needing to flee the country.

Rats, I forgot that I owed you that. You need to nudge me more when I'm absentminded. :)

To make up for it, if you want, I can get you the name of the hotel we stayed at. Small, but cheap. Well, cheap for London. Not too long of a walk to the tube, either.

That would be awesome! Not having done a lot of traveling this is all new to us :)

It was the Casewell House (http://www.hotellondon.co.uk/).

I'd classify it as "adequate, and not costly". The listed prices are 55GBP/night, but we ended up paying thirty five - so there's definatley some wiggle room there.


Feel free to pick our brains at anytime. :)

London and British Airways have been known to have bargins over the winter, but make sure to budget accordingly for the 2 to 1 ratio for dollars to pounds.

Concur with the cold weather - shoveling the walk and driveway did me in as far as leaving the house this evening.
