Have a great time, Peter. Do you have any specific plans? Are you going to do the tourist things, go to theater? Need any restaurant recommendations?

I'm already looking forward to going back in February for our annual trip.

Maureen has a bunch of Princess Diana-related stuff planned. I've opted to pass on those activities.

We'll be doing some lunches & dinners with friends from another forum where I hang out.

I'm planning to do some museums and stuff. I haven't been there since I was a kid. I'm also going on the Eye.

Restaurant recommendations are always welcome, since we'll be eating out about 30 times. ;-)

Thanks, Ed. :-)

I leave on the 31st August, I think you planned it this way. I should be back in February so Ed had better look out.

FYI, Adrian, it is likely we will be in London from 16 February to 21 February. Fair warning, so plan accordingly.

As we get closer to those dates, I'll touch base with you about possibly getting together for a beer or two.

Excellent. Maybe we can also hook up with Shane (and anyone else who might be available) and do it up right.

I'm really sorry I'll miss you, Adrian. We chose the dates of the trip so we would be there over U.S. Labor Day holiday, thus saving a day of leave from work.

We'll meet up eventually.

Peter, just rent Roxanne and you'll have Adrian for as long as your thumb can hit play and rewind (and also enjoy a good looking Darryl Hanna, too!).

Thanks, John. Haven't decided on watch yet. Probably just take one. I've been wearing my TT Datejust a lot lately. A Panerai or JLC are also possibilities. Due to the crappy exchange rates I won't be shopping for anything new while there.

Yes, I definitely plan to meet up with Shane.

But that nose keeps sticking through the TV screen and poking my in the eye. Of course I could see him in other movies with a normal nose.

I'll have to look for some recent photos of Darryl. Wonder if she's aged well?

That would be great, Peter. I'll check with you closer to our travel date and see how things look for you.

Based on Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2, I'd say no!
