An adventure!!!!!

OMG it's been a nighmare...the organizing of this trip to London which I thought several times along the way I should cancel. But now: It's all in place. And I'm excited. Which is a wonderful new feeling!

We've had a one bedroom apartment with sleeper sofa, rented in South Kensington, since December and after some iffy dealings last week with the owner/host/whatever was cancelled. He cancelled because I think he found me difficult. And knew that when we arrived and the flat was not as advertised...I would complain fast. The cancelling e-mail arrived at 4:19 on Monday. I was really shaken and yet, not so surprised that sometime was skanky...And so we were forced to make other arrangements -- fast -- which I think will work out better. More expensive but since I believe that you get what you pay for...We will be living in London for 9 nights and stepping over each other would be difficult. This flat should be large, spacious and give everybody way more privacy. Also it has, so I am told, a well equipped kitchen and since the girls are not exactly foodies and leave half their food on their plates...what the hell. Specially since London is so expensive.

Fact: Ireland is more expensive and we are not going there!!!

Kate asked me this morning not to schedule things, activities the way we did in Paris. Well, that works for me because it will give Kate and Lydia sometime to hangout like apprentice grown ups and give Arnie and me some time together.

An aventurra! Book me.
