It's that time of year again

Time for my annual sabbatical to Shore Leave. But first, off to England for two weeks. My plane leaves this afternoon for Chicago, then it's off to London, barring any unforeseen weather events. They're saying today should be clear, but the threat of "severe weather" was "slight" yesterday and the siren to warn for tornadoes went off at 1:15 this morning. Talk about a new experience.

Anyway, I hope I don't miss too much here, though I'm sure I will.

Have a lovely trip! I think the weather looks good for at least a few days.

And now it's over. :-(

I had a wonderful time, thanks! I just wish I could have stayed longer.

Thanks, I did! :-)

Ah, the joys of the siren going off in the early, early morning...

Isn't it great you're at the beginning of all this fun? Two weeks in England and then a con with like-minded friends! I'm envious. *g* I hope you have a wonderful time! I know you had a ton of places lined up for England, so good luck with the itinerary as well!

We managed to visit all the places on my itinerary and then some! But I haven't walked so much in a long time. The con afterwards was the icing on the cake...and something of a rest.

Enjoy! I envy both parts of your trip. :)

They were wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect holiday. :-)

Have a lovely time! Chicago is my hometown and London is one of my fav cities. I'm jealous! :-)

Well, you don't have to be too much. *g* Chicago was just a stopover and I was only in London for one day. Just long enough to visit with another friend, go to the Lambeth Palace library and catch a plane for Baltimore!

[identity profile] ancastar.livejournal.com 2010-07-13 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
And Baltimore is where I live now.

STOP STALKING ME!

;-)

Lol, as long as you're not in Michigan now, you're safe. ;-)

Glad Baltimore got some rain, though. I've never seen it so dry!

Sounds fabulous to me. I hope you have a lovely time!

I did, indeed! But considering I was indulging my two passions, Richard III and fandom, how could I not? :-)
