Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Thanks Mr X, that's very kind. I think so too, but then again, I am biased. Catfish, that might even be a date. depends on the kids school dates potentially. Kiz - be great to catch up. I have a couple of things for you guys (smeds and stageman - there are goodies for you too).

LOL

Originally Posted By Ursula I'm just loving your trip report! Great photos and thank you for sharing them with us! It is really fun to see places I go through someone else's eyes. I love that you know the Madonna Inn! I have a few glasses in various colors that they sell. I love it! Tell Sarah that I did go in the men's room there...I sent in DH first, though. There was a group of senior ladies waiting outside of the men's room for an escort, so I loaned them my husband. Their faces were just silly (and crimson) when they came out. I can't wait to read more!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Cool lesmisfan. And I too. Hope the wake was not too depressing. We enjoyed meeting your friend too. You should get her to sign up on LP! As I said, I am sure that between UKFAN and myself, we can ensure you have an awesome time in London.

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Dave, what a great report! I was looking at all of your wonderful pictures and noticed that you and PB have sort of the same eye for photography. That again proves your Ness. (She also loves looking at the architecture and skylines and she also has a fantabulous way of capturing it all, just as you do.) Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us. Well done! Also, I was wondering if you and Sarah would adopt me? I love to travel and can't afford to do so as much as I'd like,and you folks know how to really take it all in. LOL!! *footnote: We took a roadtrip in 2003 through Monterrey / Cannery row and surroundings. We also thought it touristy, so I'm glad I wasn't the only one with that opinion.

November 2009 then (maybe) watch the meet threads guys.

Ursula, although I am exhausted and going to get an early night, I will post one more update for you today. Jonvn - thank you for your very kind comments. We did indeed have a great time, and I feel very blessed to have my family.
