FINALLY. I think it took me 4 1/2 months to do my travelogue for our First England Trip, and I thought that was ridiculous and swore to do it faster this time. And this time it's taken me SIX mon...

---

Or, as we kept saying, the, "sniff..sniff...last day...WAAAHHHH!!!!" How is it possible for time to go so fast?? None of us was ready for it to be The Last Day. But, sadly, there The Last Day w...

---

Since I've not been really doing day-to-day entries to document our countryside stay, and instead have been doing hunks of things - like an entry for Marlborough and an entry (or two) for Bath an...

---

Have I said how much I loved Avebury? I really loved Avebury. I could live here. Amongst the stones. And sheep. This sheep had an itch. Impressive trees: West Kennet ...

---

We hung around Avebury just about every day that we were in Wiltshire, so I'm giving Avebury its own entry. It's both a town and the site of a Neolithic henge monument. It's the largest stone cir...

---

The real Bath entry is one entry back, but I want to add a few more pictures. Because I found Kim's Bath Pictures- which I'd put in a separate set from MY Bath Pictures on Flickr, since she was u...

---

But before I get to Bath, I have to wrap up one last loose end from the previous Passport Disaster entries: What happened to the purse?? I was oddly certain that it would reappear, since the card...

---

...from last entry. Disaster Day actually lasted for two days--- Tuesday June 24th was The Day The Passport Vanished, and Wednesday the 25th was The Day We Had To Drive Back To London To The Emba...

---

FINALLY, after all the endless foreshadowing, we have arrived. Tuesday June 24th. The Day Disaster Struck. Well, Disaster really struck the previous evening, but it was Tuesday morning before we...

---

I really will get to the impending !!!DISASTER!!!! next entry. I just want to get pictures of Marlborough in since we were there every day, and also stick in a glimpse of Devizes. THEN I'll relat...

---

Since I have approximately 789,124 pictures of our trip, and we didn't really range very far once we were in Wiltshire (well, except that one day), I'm going to do these entries more by place tha...

---

Before the SERIOUS drama hits! Well, it hits on Tuesday so we have another nice peaceful day after this one. I left off the last entry as we arrived in Pewsey and were met at the station by an ex...

---

I am taking a big step here and making my entry in Prosebox -- and then if OD ever has a lull in fucked-upedness, I'll cross-post it over there. I'm at work and bored out of my mind, so am not in...

---

{obviously crossposting} Let's see of OD will cooperate long enough to knock out the rest of the Greenwich pictures. My membership was up for renewal a couple of weeks ago, and for the first time...

---

But first, in an exciting story related to my very last entry about the zoo, the London Zoo's first tiger cub in 17 years was born a few weeks ago! They just announced it, and didn't even tell th...

---

By Friday we couldn't believe that the London Leg was almost over...just like last time, it went by in a flash. And just like last time we felt like we did about an eighth of a percent of what we...

---

I realized after my last entry that I completely forgot to post Piccadilly Circus pictures. We didn’t spend much time there but passed through on Wednesday evening to get the tube back to Stratfo...

---

SO, my last post left poor Baker B rattled by nearly being mugged by a creepy possible-drug-dealer in teeny Devizes, and considering an escape from the town. Our landlady (I feel odd calling her ...

---

FINALLY. I am doing a very poor job with this. As I recall I did a very poor job last trip too - I think it took me till February to finish writing about the trip we took in October-- so I suppos...

---

A day which was not very dramatic at all for me and Kim, happily, but was quite dramatic for Baker B. Well, London was not dramatic for Baker B, as he was in Devizes, but he had a harrowing even...

---

...with less drama. We were saving up our energy for the drama to come! We continued to play tourist, and after touring Tower of London we went on to the Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge is right besid...

---

Of course there was a teeny bit of drama, but it was minimal. Compared to all the other days, at least. With Kim calling her relatives about the Cat Bite Incident (which by Tuesday had settled do...

---

Or, more accurately, Continuing Draaaaama. With a little new drama thrown in for effect! Monday started off with a bang, literally, as my blowdryer burst into flames. Setting off the smoke alar...

---

At the end of the last entry, Kim was feeling much better and we'd gone to our little chain-pub-not-an-authentic-London-pub for a beer and a soothing jacket (aka baked) potato, and walked home ag...

---

We had an overnight flight from Charlotte to Heathrow on Saturday the 15th, which I said last time I wasn't sure I'd do again... but it's actually the only way that makes any sense. You fly all n...
