Yeah what the hell. Cant you take an extra day or two of vacation? Call in sick.

Or how about a weekend Syt? Overnight train in and back?

Not that often you get to meet a real live Rican.

Lusti's itinerary seems to be weird as he seems to be leaving on Saturday. I will probably fly in on Friday and leave on Sunday. Any hotels you guys plan to stay in?

The one near Trafalgar Square we stayed in during the last London meet was nice and reasonably priced.

I've played soccer and baseball with Ricans, traded NFL cards with them and played on the NES. And we had Puerto Rican neighbors once. :P


I will see what I can do, but no promises, as first week of the month has my reporting deadlines.

Thats the Strand palace hotel, which happens to be the one that Lusti and CF are staying at.

I expect I'll stay with relatives near Finsbury Park. It has been stressed to me that I should use their place even if they don't get to benefit from my company, which is very kind of them.

Coincidentally(?) that's also where I was staying the last time I saw Marti.

Maybe we can ask them to change their name to The Languish Hotel? :D

ok so i have a Beatles fan at home, so i would like to cross abbey rd if possible. Also i do not want to miss the british museum, (its free), im guessing buckingham palace and westminster abbey??? Tower of London? what else?? Im afraid of heights but Lusti says i can't miss the London Eye  :rolleyes:

One of my favourites is going to the top of St Pauls. Best done on a good day of course so that you can enjoy the view after all the work.
