Whee!

I just got my vacation request approved. Whoo hoo! UK in August, here I come.

Specific planning commences as soon as I see my tax refund. Confession: I've already started practice packing. Shut up. I'm not a total retent. I'm just...detail-oriented.

I'm aiming to fly on August 18, sleep on the 19th, and do London the 20th-25th or so.

There, I shall spend time with ravurian, ruric, and several other lovely folks who have expressed interest in a London meetup. Part of the plan is to take a day trip to Cambridge to a) see Cambridge a little and b) meet altariel.

Then south to friends in Sussex (who haven't heard this news yet--I should probably inform them, huh?), and finally to Scotland and chez kis, where there will be walking and dining and coastlines and a cottage and some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

Eeee!

Excellent! Thank you for letting me know--for thinking of me! I appreciate it.

I hope to be helping ravurian celebrate his birthday in London on the 20th, and my days after that are as yet unscheduled.

I have a day trip to Cambridge very much in my mind. How would Monday the 22nd work for you? Let me know and I'll stick another virtual pin in my virtual calendar.

Monday 22nd works well for me! In the diary.

Only proviso would be that if you wanted to see the Fitzwilliam Museum, it's closed on Mondays, but there's plenty more to see and do in Cambridge, not least the colleges.

Forgot to say, can DM you my mobile number if that would be helpful?

Oh! Excellent idea. Yes, thanks.

I hope to arrange for a UK SIM so that I have a local number while I'm in the UK, and will get that number to you when I have it.
