Greetings from London!
Hi Everyone!
Flight went well. I'm here in London with kriken. We're settled into our hotel, and we've found an internet cafe. We could get wireless in our room, but it's £1 per TEN BLOODY MINUTES. Sorry, I'm not bending over for that. Just insane. I might use it briefly, but that's it.
So, please don't expect me to be online much. I'm hoping that once the convention starts, there will be access to wireless on the university campus. If not, well... cut me loose and don't expect lengthy IM chats each day!
Also, much to my dismay, the texting programme I had tried to purchase was NOT what I had expected, and I'm not using it. It's not for texting FROM non-US countries. It's for texting from the US to OTHER countries. Text messages (sent or received) will cost me fifty cents each, so PLEASE use them discerningly if you plan to use them at all.
Other than that, the weather is lovely (no rain today - knock on wood), cool and clear, and I had the most delicious moussaka at a Turkish restaurant for dinner. (VERY full right now - need to go for a walk.)
Tomorrow, we're going on a walking tour (kriken, me, and possibly Azhure, and whomever else we can gather unto ourselves), maybe meet up with the other tour groups, maybe follow the "automated" tour that Kriket downloaded (it's really cool), and all in all... hell, we're gonna end up in a pub sampling the local libations. :D
Anyhow... I've got to e-mail the family before they bug out. Yeah. *headdesk*
Love you all!
