And Wales!! And Scotland!!!

I am so super psyched!! I'm going to the UK this spring!
And I want to meet my UK internet friends and drink!!! (It's a family trip which means I'm going to definitely need some evening drinks. And noon drinks. Hell, not adverse to brunch drinks either.)

It's through a travel package thing, so I'm going to post my itinerary and see if I've got some friends-ies I can meet on my way around the UK!!!!

So, I'm totally going to have my Tom Baker scarf finished by then, which will make me totally AWESOME (right? That's how things work in England, right?), and I'm totally going to bring some fanfiction or something to sacrifice to the Tourist Office if the little memorial is still there.

Anyway, so British friends, reply to this!! I am totally determined to meet some of you while I'm there!! And also drink. ^.^

Just got back (like 2 hours ago) from Cardiff--the memorial is still there, a bit tattered in places, but huge and wanting more tributes! While you're in Cardiff, you can go to the Doctor Who exhibition--I think it won't be closed yet. Definitely have a drink at Tiger Tiger ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" bar) in the city centre, just down Greyfriars Road from the castle. I'm a sappy tourist, but I like taking the water taxi from Bute Park to Cardiff Bay.

You're kidding about finding things to do in Edinburgh, right? The castle alone is fantastic, but the Royal Mile is also a touristy but interesting place to wander. Check out the World's End pub.

Have fun! I've done similar tours to get my bearings and then gone back later to check out places I wanted to explore on my own. You'll have a great time!
