Itina...Itiner....schedule

All plans have been finalised, approved ("Gee, am so excited I may pee!" - Lorna), booked where appropriate and paid for. I've got my "proper" shoes (ugly as hell but soooooo comfortable), a range of comfy, casual clothes and a capacious yet stylish bag. Childcare has been sorted out, batteries bought for the camera and some (but not all) guilt presents purchased for David, Mac and dogs. Mac is in a state of excitement about his next two weekends ("I would like weekends every day mummy!") and I'm spending the next couple of days cooking and freezing dinners for the next fortnight. David has sulkily put away the takeaway menus.....

So.....deep breathing......excursions will include the Britain at War exhibition, London Dungeons, Hayes Galleria, Imperial War Museum, HMS Belfast, Hampton Court, Camden Lock, Globe Theatre, St Pauls Cathedral, London Zoo, Thames Barrier, London Eye, Tea at Bea's, Tower of London, Harrods, Selfridges and Kensington Palace. At one point I thought I'd over-egged the whole "war, death and destruction" aspect but hey, our visitors are happy!

  2. I will be reading your reports with great interest - despite having lived in London for over fifteen years, I haven't visited half of those places. Naughty Mya.

  3. Surely the order would be Selfridges, Harrods etc working back towards all things historical? Oh am I just becoming too obsessed with shopping? Good luck!

  4. Seems like yo have every minute of every day accounted for...do yo have a print out? And what about an umbrella (for them to follow in crowds a la Japanese)?

    Good luck!
