Whether you're spending time with family or friends, staying in the city where you live or spending time in a city far away, I hope you have a happy Chrismukwanzakkah and a great time ringing in 2010!See you next year!

Blog Update: London, Hong Kong and Sydney
Blog: The Amazing Dawdle - 22 December 2009
LondonWe were scheduled to fly into London from Santiago via Madrid Spain at 2pm. As we pulled into the check-in, the agent looked at us and told us that our flight was delayed until 6pm, at least, which meant delays of over four hours. At least we had the lounge to chill out in. Once we landed in Madrid, we had about a half hour to spare (after immigration and navigating their massive train system) before hopping a flight to London. We were lucky enough to have our friend Mel pick us up at the airport, as we were staying with her and her husband and baby.

Lady in a Winter Wonderland
Blog: A Lady in London - 20 December 2009
I haven't gotten into the holiday spirit this year. I went without an advent calendar for the first time in my life, I haven't listened to much holiday music, and I was too lazy to get a Christmas tree.

Toilets and Traveling
Blog: Green Earth Guides ~ Traveling Naturally - 14 December 2009
I consider myself relatively easy going about toilets and bathroom facilities. That is I have gone backwoods camping and once lived with nothing more than an outhouse for almost four years. So it is not that I require luxury. However, when traveling I am amazed at the state of some toilettes.

Chilli Cool Sichuan, King’s Cross
Blog: An American in London - 8 December 2009
A few weeks ago, I ate at Sichuan-heavy Ba Shan, where, except for the kung pao chicken, everything I ordered was mediocre and relatively pricey. And then I read this positive review of Chilli Cool Sichuan Restaurant by blogger, Mr. Noodles, who is a regular there, and I knew I’d have to try it [...]

I Still Love London
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 6 December 2009
Even if you’ve only been paying minimal attention the past couple weeks, you can probably tell that I am a huge London person. Our love affair began on my first trip abroad at 15 years old. Later I returned to study Victorian literature there and after graduation I came back to work there. The city [...]

Coffee of the day: The Troubadour, London – UK
Blog: Nomadic Notes Travel Blog - 4 December 2009
When I’m in London I usually stay around the Earl’s Court/Gloucester Rd area. It’s in well to do leafy West London and has good transport connections. It is also home to one of my favourite cafe’s – the Troubadour. The Troubadour has been around since 1954 and it was a famous music venue in the 60’s. [...]

Uncovering a hidden side of London on foot
Blog: 501 Places - 23 November 2009
A few weeks ago we took a train into London and got off at London Bridge with no particular plans. We knew we wanted to walk, as it was a beautiful autumn day. But beyond that we were happy to see what came our way. The pictures below tell the story, and are a great [...]

Launceston Place, Kensington
Blog: An American in London - 16 November 2009
Despite living and working in the easterly bits of central London, I visited two restaurants in Kensington over the last seven days: Kitchen W8 and Launceston Place. I thought the former was pleasant and worth visiting when already in the area, but in contrast, the latter is a worthy cross-town destination. If [...]

A stroll down Bridge St
Blog: The Corny Traveler's Chronicles - 15 November 2009
We had talked about faint recollections from the novel about Newton's grave being there. But when we reached the place, the Abbey was already closed for tourists. Anyway, if you have a new camera, you never miss a chance to take a lot of pics. From every possible angle. Thinking that this might come out to be that wonderful photograph that would one day find a place in some famous magazine.

Plane views: London City Airport
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 13 November 2009
London City Airport (LCY) is my absolute favourite of all the airports serving London. It’s small (getting through it is a breeze) and well-connected to the City (via the efficient Docklands Light Rail). One of the highlights (for me, at least) of flying to LCY is the approach. All flights from the European continent approach [...]

Waterhouse (1849-1917) fue un pintor inglés enmarcado en el grupo artístico de los prerrafaelitas junto con otros como Rosetti y Millais.

Dragon Castle, Elephant & Castle
Blog: An American in London - 8 November 2009
A month ago, Jon and I went to see the highly-entertaining (popular, even) Pop Life exhibit at the Tate Modern, and afterwards, we somehow reasoned that because Elephant & Castle was so “close by,” we should try out Dragon Castle for dinner, which TimeOut loved. So we hopped on the Northern Line at London Bridge and [...]

The Lady's Tale
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
On Saturday my friend Emily and I went to Canterbury, the setting of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and home of the Canterbury Cathedral.We left London's Victoria Station in the morning and were greeted by beautiful blue skies when we arrived in Canterbury at noon. We walked along the old city wall and through a park, then weaved through the crowds of Christmas shoppers in the pedestrian zone to get to our main destination: the Cathedral.

Lady of the Season
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
With Christmas just over a week away and this being the first Christmas I will spend away from my family, I feel like I should write a bit about the holiday season in London.The first outdoor decorations I noticed were some massive lights on Regent Street. At first I mistook them for larger-than-life atomic models, but then I realized that they were supposed to be giant 3D snowflakes.

Lady at the Zoo
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
When I was five years old my family took a trip to London. One day my mother decided to take my brother and me to the London Zoo, so we spent the morning at the grocery store getting picnic food together. We chose sandwiches, chips, and cookies, and then headed to the beverage aisle for sodas. I remember staring up at the tall wall of cans, which were arranged by flavor. For some reason none of them had labels, so we just guessed what they were by their color.
