I hadn't planned on going back to the UK so soon, but things sort of fell into place and really, how could I say no? ;-)
This time, I'm spending over a week in London, as opposed to the day and a half I had last year. Now I'll have the chance to visit places properly, instead of just seeing them as the tour bus drives by. And, being the geek that I am, I'm going to do the new Harry Potter studio tour. You get to visit where they shot the movies; they left the sets standing so fans could visit and waste money. Considering I did the Doctor Who Experience when I was in London last year, this is par for the course. :-)
I'm going to do stereotypical tourist-y things, too, like having high tea and visiting Harrods. I'm excited to visit the British Museum. There was this computer game I used to play as a kid, some educational archeological thing, and a lot of the items in the game are actually in the museum, so it'll be cool to see them in person rather than as low resolution pixels. Some day trips out of London look possible, too. It must be nice, living in a country that's so small. Here in Canada, in most provinces it takes three hours to drive to the next largest city. Three hours in the UK? You can end up anywhere and it's still cool.
Hopefully by June work has slowed down so I don't come back to a mountain of stuff. Though, knowing my luck, everything will fall apart while I'm gone...
