Planning a vacation is pretty similar to
preparing for a major holiday. Thanksgiving and Christmas come to mind; as do
Easter, Kwanza, Hanukah or Halloween. You get the idea. You spend months
planning and preparing for the big day. Time is spent on getting the best bang
for your buck with flights and hotels. Thanks to the internet and online
“travel agents,” you can do this from the comfort of your own home in you
pajamas, boxers or buck naked, should that be your favorite surf attire. Click,
click. Booked and Booked. Now comes the scary part, deciding your itinerary.
In this case, my daughter took care of the itinerary.
Everything from our Oyster cards and admission tickets down to the number of
minutes it would take to walk from point A to point B. You know, on paper that
all sounds great. When actually walking? Not so much. In any major city in the
United States we’d have had it down to the number of steps. With London, it’s a
story for another blog.

Armed with boarding passes, admission
tickets, oyster cards, dollars to pounds, maps and luggage, we boarded the bus to
Toronto on our first leg on our journey. And like any holiday, regardless of the planning, it went too fast and there was disappointment; like the unwanted gift from Aunt Tilly. During the next few weeks, I'll be sharing my holiday in merry ole England.
