I'd NEVER want to be a travel agent !!








These photos that I have added upon return are of the Springfield Hotel Bed and Breakfast in the Sussex Gardens area of London where we stayed. The location was great. We were in a quiet double room on the third floor. It was quite a climb up to our room, but the price was very good for London. My research paid off !
















The Abbey Court Hotel is located on the same street--Sussex Gardens--and you can book online thru this link. Also the Beverly House Hotel and The Queensway Hotel in Sussex Gardens.
All of these smaller hotels are made in townhouses in Sussex Gardens, which is a great location. The open top double decker tour bus stops right by there. An internet shop is close by as are numerous cafes and coffee shops. Sussex Gardens is located north of Hyde Park, so you can walk to Hyde Park or since you are really close to Paddington Station, you can hop the Underground or trains to anywhere.

In the process of trying to put together a one-sheet-of-paper itinerary, I realized that I only had reservations for one nite in Rome, when we needed TWO, plus I happened to run accross a little slip of paper that NWA had sent and glanced at it--Schedule Change Notification, opps !, plane leaves Memphis at 5 p.m. , not 10:00 p.m. as originally planned and what we thought !!

Well, we came close to missing the plane....here it is the day before we leave and I started making these arrangements back in something like March....why people think I am an organized person is beyond me !!

Anyway, here is the list of where we are suppose to be and when, and contact info:

Lundy,

Sounds like a dream trip! I will be following your adventure. I hope it is cooler there! I suppose you're on your way as I type this. Can't wait to hear how much fun you'll be having.

Love,
