Heading to the UK.

Getting ready to prep my first trip to London from Sunday through Wednesday morning for work. Should be interesting, got my plans all set, got my adapters in check for the laptop and phone charger and now I must go home and pack.

Going to only bring Carry On luggage so I got to go buy some elf toiletries so I don't get beaten down trying to bring a whole 4oz on the plane :-)  Last time they stole my energy drink, mouthwash and toothpaste. I had to go hunting expensive stores to buy it, this time I'm fighting the system with elf sized items!

Anyway, hopefully all goes well, it's a direct flight from Boston to London and back again so I don't have to worry TOO much about lost baggage and the "Heathrow Experience."

Current goal, spend none of my own money as it's worth nothing in the UK. I feel like I'm heading there with pesos....

Well, most is on my company, but anything I want to buy for the kids...is on me.

Make sure you clean your laptop before you go. Customs agents are searching them http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/may/15/computing.security

Naaa the food is great. Go to the local pub and get yourself some Prime Rib with Yokshire pouding ! Or fish and chips, sheppards pie is also good. There's lots of local cuisine that's good. I never got into tea time though.
