Things to Look Forward To

Guess what I just did???

I'm officially booked on the Eurostar train out of London to Paris on Monday, June 30th! The round-trip only cost about $180, which is a great price on its own, but even better considering my London research/conference trip is now completely covered by research and travel funds!

As if that weren't enough to put a smile on my face...

I'm also booked for a matinee showing of Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End! The operator I just spoke with had the cutest British accent I've ever heard (not that I've heard many), and she was great about letting me know I could get better seats at the matinee rather than the evening show. I prefer the evening show, but the available seats were only going to be average. I figure if I'm going to the theatah in London - to see Phantom nonetheless - I want great seats! My plan is to watch the show then take in a really nice dinner somewhere and finish the evening by shopping for family and friends.

Now to plan the rest of my time and travel in England...Cheerio!
