Wow! This year has flown by. I'm heading back to the States tomorrow afternoon, and I can't believe it. Just an FYI - the house I posted about earlier fell through, but Andrea already has her awesome house detector on the move, and she found another one that looks great. I'll keep you posted.
In the last few days, I've been running around like crazy. Tracy left on Thursday to meet up with her parents 100 miles north of here. She should be heading back to the States today.
I packed up my life at College Hall. It was tough to leave actually - since I've lived there since October. But I managed just fine, and Spud picked me up Friday morning with all of my suitcases packed and ready for flight. He dropped me off at his flat for the weekend, and he took off for Wales.
Del and Jamie arrived on Friday, and we met up for a late lunch at Wagamama's close to their hotel. Then we went to Leicester Square to get some theatre tickets for that evening. We saw the Producer's, which was a fantastic and hilarious show.
Saturday, we did a bus tour, and we saw the Tour of London. It was really amazing, and there was so much to see at the one attraction. After that, we took a boat tour along the Thames. I had seen most everything before except for a pirate ship! oooooh! Then we ate at Texas Embassy (mmm, Mexican food) and walked over to Leicester for tickets for the Philadelphia Story for Del and JT that night. (They loved it!) Before the show, we went to Hamley's, a HUGE, 6-story toy store. We had fun playing with the displays and taking funny pictures. Then I headed back to the flat for a nice, quiet evening.
Sunday, we weren't supposed to meet up, but Del called to invite me to join them for The Lion King for the matinee showing. It was absolutely AMAZING!! The puppetry, staging, costume design, and music were out of this world, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. I bid them well and came home to check my email, and I had received one from Bruce Fike, my boss from last summer. We met up last night for dinner - we went to this lovely Thai place in Trafalgar Square, and then I showed him around the area a bit, sneaking in an ice cream cone just in case. :)
Came home to find Spud watching TV. Pleasant surprise. :) Went to bed early and got up today for a dissertation meeting and tying up all my loose ends here in London. Woohoo! Must get going, and I'm sorry I've been slacking on the updates - I haven't had the internet! Hope this finds you all well, and I can't wait to catch up with you all in person when I get home tomorrow!! Miss you.
