I (heart) LONDON


I'm baaaaack!


OK... so lightning does strike twice.

About a year and a half ago... I got this cool opportunity to fly business class to London with the agency I work for (BCD Travel). I had a blast and found out that London is all that my new wave loving-travel seeking-atlas watching-childhood thought it would be.

Last week I got to go again...but this time with my office (CGC/BCD Travel). Pam, Alicia and John from my office flew to London courtesy of British Airways (THANKS Mana). Now the trip was a business trip so we had quite an itinerary but all that didn't matter cause I WAS IN LONDON!!!

We visted some properties...met some really nice people from the hotels, saw a Chelsea 'football' game, and experienced a few days of some chilly (but nice) weather.

I hope lightning will strike again (and again). I can't wait to go back.

Here are some pics of the trip.
