I am SO excited!!! I'm planning our BIG trip for when he gets back from being soldier! We've decided to backpack the UK!!!! That's been a dream of mine since I was like... 5.
We're going to start out in London, go up to York, then spend Christmas in Edinburgh, head over for a pub crawl in Glasgow. Then we hop a ferry to Belfast,... Read More
Thanks so much!! I've already gotten the hostels picked out (hotels suck lol) and I WAS worried about belfast!! After all that happened in Londonderry, I was thinking of skipping it, but maybe not. Living in Italy has taught me how to avoid Gypsies, and I ALWAYS have my pocket knife on me for those who think it's ok to get TOO friendly.
Thanks for the advice on the trains, I wasn't sure which way to go with since here in Italy it can be cheaper to go by the station instead of a pass.
And THANK YOU for a heads up about the Historical Society, I'll have to look up where to pick that up at <3 I am a HUGE history nut
I don't plan on carrying a purse when we go into cities, I'm way into cut resistant hidey things and metal wallets that I can clip onto my pants. Haha, and my pants will be tight enough to warn me if some little bastard is trying his/her luck at a razor blade to the bottom of the pocket. I recently got this iPod armband that actually fits my wallet AND iPod, so those will be close to me.
I can't believe I'm going to see places I saw in movies!!! Ok, well I see places like that a lot being here in Italy, but still, this will be in the UK!!!
You're so my hero today!!
P.S. LMFAO about political discussions, I don't do that ANYWHERE
Yeah, the old adage about politics and religion is quite true... especially while traveling. Forget the pocket knife if your going to the UK... they are bloody anal about them at the moment and even people going fishing are being harassed for having a scaling knife. If it has a locking mechanism at all... it's illegal there. Go figure... the police couldn't do anything about a lunatic driving all over the countryside with a shotgun hanging out his window because they are unarmed but they go out of their way to make criminals out of decent folks.
This week started out amazing, with phone calls from my hunny waking me up at 930am... now things have gotten weird and it's like we've taken about 12 thousand steps back from the progress we had managed. I'm too tired to keep starting over. Woke up today to dog pee on my wall, the Thunderstorm (which I normally love) coming in my house, and no... Read More
Take it from me darlin' anytime you feel like that, sit back take a breath and think about all the trouble you helped solve for other people, and the headaches that brought to you. Nobody's perfect, we all cause a little pain; what matters is what you balance it out with, and what gets taken from it in the long run--both for the sending, and recieving person. Chin up doll, smiles do wonders in this world.
So many things going on! I cannot WAIT for Vegas in April!! 2 weeks of Sin City... I won't know what to do with myself! Haha, I had to buy a video recorder so I would be sure neither of us would forget any part of his leave! Drunken debauchery, gambling, lights, and making love... it doesn't get much better than that! We plan on... Read More
Thanks but I only have 2 weeks, it's my hubbies leave from downrange and we are going to spend it recording everything and remembering very little LOL. Where in Vegas are you going to be?
