Just returned this past Sunday (Sept.27th) from an eight day tour of London and countryside. Weather rainy first day then sun and 17-18C for the remainder of trip. London crowded but lots to see and do. Stayed at Premier Inn Waterloo which is a great place from which to travel around London as very near Waterloo Station. Purvis

Glad you made it to London, Purvis. and thanks for the report, but tell us more?is the Premier Inn Waterloo the one very close to the London Eye? Although I think that's PI County Hall, never the less, great location!

Californian : The Premier Inn Waterloo is almost on top of the Premier Inn County Hall. It is just a wee bit closer to Waterloo Station (2mins. walking distance) on York Road. The Premier Inn Waterloo is the most recent Inn to be opened. Purvis

So.....fire engine red or Barney the dinosaur purple? Glad you got your docs!! And, trust me, a nice deep burgundy-brown will look spectacular on you and will suit your hair style purrfectly.....trust me!! Your hair is a little different style but you can see the colour nicely here!

I think the colour that you had in the picture of you in your book looks really nice on you.

Received my travel documents today! Only 68-1/2 days to go! We are back. I am surprised you got your travel docs so early, Boop. It was a great trip, great travel companions, none annoying but I preferred the Best of Italy trip. DH liked it.

DH liked it. oooooh, details, details I had requested my documents as early as possible and I deal with a terrific gal at Trafalgar in Toronto! I don't think anything can beat The Best of Italy......but I have extra time in Prague so I'm going to give it a good try!! What I like about the PVB trip is the 3 days stays........ahhhhh, relaxing...

I liked the 3 night stays, it isn't really 3 days, more like 2.5 days max. Since we signed up for most of the optionals, we did not have much free time. Also i found I spent more time packing since we had unpacked more.

I’m back from a great trip to Greece! The weather was perfect with only a little bit of rain, and the food was great. We saw a lot of interesting sites, and a lot of museums. Our tour director was wonderful and a wealth of knowledge. I think this was one of the most history intense tours I’ve ever been on. We saw a lot of ruins, and after a while they all kind of merged together, and I’m currently re-reading my Greece books in order to remember everything I saw. The islands are beautiful, although, the only island we had a full day on was Rhodes. This was a very busy tour with long days and not a lot of free time. I was okay with that, but a lot of people were tired by the time we got back to Athens.
I still have to sort out my pictures and get started on writing my tour tale. I had family in town this weekend for Thanksgiving, so I didn’t have time to do much. I hope to finish sorting through my pictures next weekend, and start my tour tale the weekend after.

Thanks Boop. I did have a great time. This is a really good tour, and one that I would recommend to anyone interested in history. A lot of the included visits were to see ruins and museums, so if you’re not into those things, then this is not the trip for you. We didn’t spend much time just “walking the city”, which is what I like to do, however, I’m also interested in history, museums and ruins, so I didn’t mind. It was a busy trip, and I didn’t have time to keep detailed notes. Writing on the coach made me feel sick, and we were on the go from morning to night, so there wasn’t enough free time to write. Once I get my pictures sorted out, I’ll be able to write about the trip based on memory. I’m also re-reading my Greek book to help remember everything I did and saw.

I can’t believe you leave in only 2 weeks! Time sure does fly by. I can’t wait to hear about your trip when you get back. There’s two of you doing a Christmas Market’s tour, and I can’t wait to hear about both of them, as they are both different. Maybe I’ll get to go on one in a few years. My friend and I were looking at the Christmas Market’s River Cruise.
