I'm in London!

If you can't figure out by the subject, I'm in London! The flight went fine, just long and cramped. The people sitting next to me were very sweet, which was a nice change. Right now I'm sitting in Victoria Station, since my coach to Cardiff isn't for another two hours. :-( I even gave myself slightly less time than last, and I was still painfully early. Of course, the flight got in early too. And I flew through passport control and customs. So now I'm sitting here, trying to figure out what to do with myself. I will be turning the computer off soon, since I want to save battery power at the moment. I will eventually be able to plug it in, but I don't feel like digging for the adapter at the moment. My internet may be intermittent while I'm here, since I won't know whether I'll have access until I actually get where I'm going each time.

I'd say I'm having fun so far, but so far its just been the plane and lots of waiting. I will have fun though!

I didn't spend a whole lot of time there today, since I was heading to Cardiff. I'll be back in London on Tuesday afternoon thru Thursday morning, and then again the following Monday and Tuesday.

I always take lots of pictures! I'm hoping to keep it under 3000 this time... I actually won't be back until next Wednesday, so I won't be at this month's meet, but I'll have all the pictures to show everyone at NEFanX.

Since you won't be back until Wednesday, then perhaps you might be interested in this. I hope I got the dates right.


GARETH DAVID-LLOYD will be launching the exciting new web thriller Girl Number 9 at the Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London on Tuesday 27th October from 5:30 – 6:30pm.
Tracy-Ann Oberman also appeared on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 yesterday, where she mentioned GN9 very briefly. Mathew Wright does tend to talk a lot though.

I have been nowhere for 8 years.
It feels more like
a lifetime since I have always gone somewhere annually.
Keep us posted about your activities.
Hope you brought a suitcase of $$$$
I hear UK and continent are expen$ive.

I'm pretty good at spending the least possible. For example, in Cardiff and the first part of London, I'm staying in hostels, which are nice and inexpensive (at least comparatively). And I'm not picky on food, so that stays pretty cheap. And I don't actually buy a whole lot of stuff, so most of my money is going towards the con. Plus a lot of things were already payed for.

I've been having a blast so far though!

Have a wonderful, wonderful time. Cardiff is still on my list of places to go. London is a drug more addictive than crack. Enjoy the con!

London is fantastic, but something about Cardiff just calls to me. Its incredible! Quieter, and less insane, than London, I guess.
