Posts related to my trip to London & Rome in September 2014
L&R 2014 – Day 2 : Seeing London
Fell asleep too quick last night to write about Day 1 craziness, and what our lodgings in International Hall are like (in short: small room, horrid shower design, but cheap). So I’ll fill Day 1 in later, skipping to Day 2.
L&R 2014 – Day 0 : Flying There
The first day, sort-of, of the trip. I’m not sure yet how the wi-fi will work each day, so I’ll try to keep updating these posts during the trip throughout the day, but the majority of the writing may be taking place in the morning and evening.
L&R 2014 – Day -1 : Packing
This time tomorrow I’ll be in London. Still not feeling real to me, my head still feels fuzzy about the whole thing. London itself doesn’t feel real to me, in the sense of it being a place I’ve only read about out of a book or seen on TV. It would be just as believable right now if my trip was to Narnia or Oz.
L&R 2014 – Day -5 : Expectations
