Europe and the UK

[seldear]

In the absence of any contact or response from my contacts in the UK, I went ahead and booked my places to stay.

After returning from my continental tour...

Oxford St Youth Hostel, London:
arr: 13 Nov 07
dep: 17 Nov 07

York International Hostel, York:
arr: 17th Nov 07
dep: 22nd Nov 07

Then I'll be staying with a friend in London (Para) and catching up with purple_cube, my cousin (Tina), and hopefully agriope23, before heading out from London on the long flight home.

I picked York because slm76 said that York has a variety of different angles and museums and a lot of history.

I still intend to see beefree88 in a future trip, but the logistics of flying out to Hungary and back weren't practical for the situation this time. Next time I go through Europe, I think I'll take the really slow-and-adventurous route, flying into the East and touring my way through the countries via trains and hostels.

(Hey, that's adventurous for me!)

Meanwhile, back in Philadelphia, we're watching the Rockies having their Asses Kicked by the Red Socks, in between snatches of the game between Penn State and Ohio State.

*waves at snoggingpicard*

I'm kinda disappointed that the hockey games between Boston and Philadelphia are in Boston while I'm in Philly, and in Philly when I'm in Boston. One of these years I'll get to an American football game live and an ice hockey game live. I've already done a baseball game in SF with allisnow.

Oh, and a UK/European football (soccer) game. :D

More on Philly later. I'm still trying to scrape Disneyland together!

*waves back* Watching the game too. As much as I wish I could make excuses for PSU's performance...Ohio is just waaaaaay impressive. I'm happy with Morelli and the defense tonight, and we've played pretty solid. Ohio is just BETTER. And very awesome to watch. I can't let anyone else on this campus hear me say that for fear of a beating. ;)

Hope Philly is FANTASTIC!!!! :D

Sel, I'm sorry. The last few days have been very difficult & I 've barely been online at all. Mum was rushed to an emergency appointment with the GP (Doc) on Thurs and while we still don't know for sure what's wrong with her (waiting to see a consultant) it's looking very much like she is going to have to have a hysterectomy. I think you did the right thing booking your accommodation because I honestly can't say what either of us are going to be doing for the next few months now. Sorry to let you down like this, but with Mum's condition hanging over our heads I doubt either of us would be very good company at the moment anyway.

I would have loved to have met you, but sadly I cannot afford a trip up to london.

Hope you have a fantastic time in the UK.

Are you still going to SG12?

Drop me a line about what time you want to meet up in Amsterdam next Sunday. I know a great place for late lunch/dinner and I wouldn't mind showing you around a teensy in the afternoon, if you have time of course :-)
