London's Calling.

"London calling to the faraway towns" - The Clash.
So it's official - Chris and I are going to London from January 15-25. 10 glory filled days in London (plus some time on a plane). I am so excited. We are staying at Central hostel for the majority of the trip (we plan on staying in Salisbury for a night to visit Stonehenge and Avebury) and it looks pretty good, not to mention the fact that it is super cheap! We are going to see all the major attractions, the Tower of London, the many Palaces and Museums, Abbey Road, the London Zoo and of course take in the gorgeous surroundings as well.
I have started to purchase items for the trip like extra memory cards and travel items though I am trying to not splurge too much since it is supposed to be a relatively cheap trip.
The trip is a graduation present to myself and was Chris' brilliant idea. I have always wanted to go (and I am almost being literal here) and Chris definitely knows that. I have done so many presentations, projects and reports on the things in London, I have posters and postcards from there but have never been there myself. In fact, I have never been outside of Canada (with the exception of USA which doesn't really count since I lived right on the border for almost 20 years of my life). Don't get me wrong, I love Canada, but I can't wait to start seeing the world and getting to cross items of my list of things to see and do before I die.
Thanks for bringing up the idea Chris - I am so Freaking Excited!!!!
