Im here!!! After going to San Francisco for The PayPal Mafia Party Thursday night (fabulous--but another story for another time) I got back to L.A. in time to transfer suitcases and go to LAX and take off for London.
I was lucky enough to get a whole row to myself in the back of the plane where I slept 9 hours straight, missing dinner and all the movies and TV that Virgin Atlantic has on their fights...they really do have a huge wonderful selection...maybe on the way home....
The hotel I found is soooo English. I am loving it. Very small room but great decor and a very modern bathroom (quite nice) and in a great neighborhood in Knightsbridge (or is it Knightsbury...it's late and I can't remember). Anyway I am just a block away from a great Sainsbury's (grocery) where I got some great Indian take out from the Deli along with some fruit, sodas (Ginger Beer which often hard to find in the U.S.), and local cheeses. AND...there is a nice large Starbucks in it so I am happy, happy, happy.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to get some half price theatre tickets at Leiscester Square for tomorrow night and then go to either the Speakers Corner in Hyde Park (this is where people get up on their soapboxes-yes, literally...and spout off about any topic they feel like talking about...people can yell or shout back at them...this is going on with dozens or more speakers going at the same time in the same area of the park...hilarious) or the British Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum.
I have tickets for Elton John's Billy Elliot musical for Monday night and then Tuesday I have plans with friends, Lulu and Geoff...not sure what we're doing yet...more later...
