September 2007


Just got back from the London Show.

Was a good show, regular set list.

We spent the mid day seeing the sites with out local tour guides Matt and Ben. We walked around the London Eye, Jubilee bridge, Buckingham Palace and Covent Garden. Took lots of pictures that I will upload later.

London is a dirty city, no garbage cans anywhere, I think they are scared of bombs in the trash cans.

It is 12:36 AM and we have to get up at 3:30 to get a 5:30 flight to Amsterdam. Going to be a long day tomorrow.

Unsorted London Day 2 photos

Lost a day somewhere over the Atlantic, now my internal clock is messed up and Day turns to Night and it is the middle of the day back home.

Our hotel was, we shall say very cozy, and we were on the 4th floor with no elevator.

We met up with Matt in London and he took us to great place for a Beer and Curry. I had not had a beer since May 07, when I started my new life style plan. It was great to have a Curry and an English Pride Ale!

Beer is Tasty!

We had fun at the London Hard Rock and went down into the Vault where they have some very cool history memorabilia. They have a Jimmy Hendrix guitar worth 6 million pounds, and we were allowed to touch it! Check out the photos, and yes that is Fozzy bear, Mona’s traveling companion that I promised to take with me on this trip.

Here is Day 1 photos. Check back daily for more, Cheers Mate!

Sept 19

Well here I go again on another trip to see the World Greatest Band :) The Tragically Hip.

Got to the airport 4 hours before my flight and it seems everyone else wanted to get there
early too. Everything was routine but I started up a conversation with a fellow named Olley. A native Brit that immigrated to Canada 30 years ago that is on his way back home for his Step Mothers funeral. I checked in and found that the extra bag I brought for the Euro Hip shirts put me over the limit and I had
to pay an extra $28 CDN. I guess someone will buy me a couple of beers for that :) Olley and I decided to go for a drink and we just had a great time talking, and before we knew it, it was time to go through security.

We went through security with no problem and sat down again and had a coffee before our flight.

Flight was on time and I got a seat with lots of leg room! Movies were Oceans 13 and Shrek 3, so luckily I had my Sony PSP that I had some TV shows to catch up on.Flight was ahead of time, and it was going to be an hour ahead.

I am finally starting to relax and look forward to the adventure ahead and look forward to joining up with my friends from Ontario.

Made it to London and had to wait for just over an hour for the rest of the crew. We made our way to the hotel to drop of our gear and freshen up. Going to head out and grab some food!
