We are still alive, we just haven’t had consistent access to wifi. Istanbul was fantastic, so much history and architecture, and ferry boats and funiculars which are all good in my books. We’ve moved on to Goreme and Cappadocia which is a fantastic change in climate from Istanbul–no humidity yay! Stay tuned folks…

London Calling
I found our first accommodation, the easyHotel, in one of my million travel books. I remember reading, “Our rooms come in three sizes: small, very small and tiny.” And apparently they also come in CLEAN and CHEAP which works just fine for me!
It’s gonna be awesome! Check out some of the reviews from trip advisor. I especially like the boneheads who complain about the rooms being too small. What were they expecting?!? Note the one reviewer claims “I have seen prison cells that are more spacious.”
But, it sounds like a great location. “The easyHotel Victoria is a short stroll from Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park and the Thames.” Who doesn’t want to see all of those?
Have you ever stayed anywhere tiny or quirky just because you could?

ps: we’ll be sure to post photos of our actual room. I’m sure we’ll be wishing we’d spent more for the room with a window.
But slowly, slowly
We’re going on vacation in just over 4 months. At first, the whole idea of taking 3 weeks off work and jetting off to Europe seemed utterly impossible. But, somehow it all worked out—flights and accommodation are booked and there’s no turning back now! Hopefully this will help me make sense of all the places we’re going to visit for sure, and all of the places that we end up along the way. If you’ve got any suggestions for amazing things to see or do in London besides the usual, by all means send them.
Here’s to waiting until February 21st, 2009 to hop a flight to London.
