I am back from England...what an amazing, mind-dizzying, fantastic, beautiful, historic adventure...
Firstly, for anyone going to London, make sure to go on a their Guided Walking Tour. The tour guide is usually funny and full of stories and anecdotes of the city's history. Both tour guides I came across were from Australia. Go figure!
Secondly, while traveling, try to stress as little as possible. Especially BEFORE leaving. It usually leaves little time for packing, remember people's addresses for postcards, making sure airline/passport info is in hand. You know, little things like that. So go to London, listen to the musicians that play music in the tube, take loads and loads and LOADS of photos...and talk to people and be charmed by their accents! And on your way back from England (flying from London Heathrow to Manchester) you can kill time at the Manchester Airport by doing Soduku (if you're into that kind of thing) or watching the tv in the International Terminal (Gooooo Spice Girls).
