Happy New Year!

So it has been awhile since I last posted. Too long! But the past 4 (is it almost 5 months already?) months has been packed with adventures (and annoyances).


So far, of London, we have done the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Tate Modern and the Hayward Gallery. All very cool.  Though we still have a lot of exploring to do in London, as well as outside of London. Matter of fact, we have been thinking about renting a car and heading out towards Stonehenge and the countryside. :o)

As for our travels, our first stop was Paris. We spent Christmas there since it was very expensive to fly home for the holidays. The price of 1 plane ticket covered a hotel for 5 days and 2 round-trip tickets on the Eurostar train. Paris was awesome. We loved it and plan on going again sometime this summer. We want to see Paris when it is green. The highlights were the food (YUM!), Notre Dame and Chateau Versailles (we want to see the ground when it is green and not so foggy).

I was also lucky (though some days I am not sure) to find work my 4th week here in London. I am working customer service for a chip and pin terminal provider. It is really testing my patience and sanity. Though the job has confirmed that I REALLY need to get out of the customer service field. I definitely will do that when I get back to the states. Mean time, I am going to look into some possible classes here for career changes. I have not decided if I want to go into project management or web design. I will have to decide soon. 


Next weekend, we are off to Rome. I cannot wait. It will be the start of several trips. This month Rome. Next month will be Amsterdam. And in May we are going to Lisbon, Portugal. Our places of interest are Barcelona, Venice, Vienna, Brussells, Berlin, Zurich, Naples, Prague, Ireland, and Scotland. Just to name a few. ;o)


And the best part of our stay so far is the new friends we have made. We have been very lucky with the group we have found. We especially have become good friends with Mike and Chopin, Mark and Gordan, Peter and John, Dominic and Justin (though not a couple, they might as well be - ha ha).
