9 Days!

I have a little over a week before I'm on a plane heading to New York and then London. I have to admit that I'm finally getting excited about my trip. I started reading this guide book that Robby gave me for my birthday and it got me really pumped for my trip. It described the city and the 6 most popular regions to visit. It outlines all the great places to go sight-seeing, shopping and eating. It wasn't until last night that I took the time to sit down and read through half of it that I realized how central of a location I'll be living in. Literally all the heart of London is about two Tube stops away from my dorm. It's really pretty fuckin' awesome. I also started reading up on the best pubs, clubs and bars to hit up while I'm there and again they aren't but a Tube ride away. Picture this...if London were a target anything worthwhile is the bullseye. I'm just on the outer region of the bullseye.

I've also managed to learn alot about the geography and lay out of the city in which I'll be running around in for 5 months. I picked up where the Queen lives, where Big Ben is, the Tower of London, Picadilly Circus (which is like their times square). I thought that all the familiar sights of London, like the London Eye, were all found in the same general vacinity, but its actually all pretty sprawled out. I figured I have ample time to get to know my new playground so there's no rush to get to do everything.

It's finally hitting me that I'll be traveling half way across the world to a large city where I know absolutely no one and I couldn't be more excited!
