Planning Continued
Dan & my travel agent duked it out today to figure out which one would have the honor of booking my stay while in London. It was like I was the fair maiden with two suitors vying for my affection. At last, I’m the prettiest girl in the class.
Anyway, Dan won. He basically just said “uh-huh” and “yeah” while the agent explained the reasons, but finished with “well, let me think about it”, which of course, quickly morphed into a no. I don’t actually care too much who won — I just wanted it settled. Something tells me that the lack of planning, 6 days out from departure, isn’t normal. Apparently, we’re no longer hitting Czech either, but will be visiting Vienna. Go figure.
Tomorrow I have to run around getting sunglasses & possibility boots from REI (trip #2), make copies of various important documents (passport, etc.), hit kinkos for extra copies of passport photos, and radio shack for a power adapter, and make a pass at packing to see what can fit & what can’t.
Wednesday night, I’m hoping to piece together a tentative agenda for Rome & London. Any recommendations/must-sees/favorites anyone would care to pass along?

It’s been so long since I’ve been to Rome, but I guess the Forum and the Vatican are the two must-sees. (No pun intended.) The Spanish Steps are pretty famous too.
My last trip to London was a bit unusual and I was in a bit of a haze. Main advice from that trip: eat dinner early. After 8PM, you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere serving food (even if they do have a sign outside that says “Food served all day”). The obvious tourist things are the Tower, St. Paul’s, Westminster Abbey, the changing of the guard.

I can’t believe you let Dan beat out the Ladies!!
