How many days will you be in London before the tour starts? I think me and Erin get there, the day before..
I would love to go on the London Eye, I've heard that it's a really spectacular view! And I just found out that there's a Platform 9 3/4 at the Kings Cross Station (so if any of you are Harry Potter fans, I will admit that I am lol, then that could be a good photo op! lol!)
hahahaha we will be arriving the day of so we have about 8 hours before meeting up. Apparently the hotel is an hour away from the airport and you take the metro to get there. I also heard that the traffic is crazy in London so those 2 hour bus tours may even take up to 3 hours. We'll figure it out though. I guess once we arrive how we'll plan it so that we're not late for the meeting. I think Maria is a big harry potter fan so I'll def pass that along to her.
i just turned 22! (i can't be the oldest can i!?) i will be getting to London on the morning of the 20th. i would like to be there earlier, but i have exams at university, so had to leave it as late as possible i will be staying afterwards in england about 5 or 6 days after the trip, either with relatives outside london, or in london itself. haven't decided yet. still looking at london accommodation. i'll be staying at the RN the night before and after the tour though. what about you guys? also realised that there's less than 3 months to go!

I really need to get my plane tickets so i actually know for sure what day i get there because i honestly cant remember lol so hopefully those come soon! But i'll be staying at the RN as well, before and after the trip.
i really wanted to stay longer so i could go to ireland for a day or two but i think i'll have run out of money by then plus my flights are all booked but we'll see what happens!!
yeah i wanted to go to ireland and scotland as well, but won't have the time. i have to get back for the start of semester. but at least i'll get to meet a few people the day before the trip!

Man, I'm starting to get a little nervous, I haven't been paying attention to the news and my dad told me today that the airline I'm going to be flying with could potentially go bankrupt....how exciting right? So fingers crossed that they don't go bankrupt!!
no worries my friends did it on their own too and had a blast you're gonna meet all of us and i'm sure you'll be fine. Holly that's pretty scary about the bankrupt business with the airlines.. which one is it? You should look into something else.. lol
Im even more excited now, just booked my flights they were pretty cheap too so more spending $$. Im definitely more than a little excited, i just want June to hurry up and be here already.
Im staying at the RN the night before and after the tour too, then have about 6 days left in London or where ever i feel like going after the tour. I'll probably move to backpackers, maybe Generator for my last few nights, i hear thats fun
