It's official: I'm emigrating to England for 12 days at the end of April. The main reason for this trip is to hang out with my super-awesome girlfriend. Bonus points for finally getting to meet Aleshia, one of my Liberatr bloggers, in person.

Any thoughts on where I should go, what I should eat, which brand of chocolate to bring home, which ales, lagers and porters to drink? I don't really want to do the London Eye, and apparently the National Gallery is not as exciting as some people make it sound. I was there about 13 years ago, so I have seen Parliment, Tower of London, Dover, even a few castles.

I am excited about getting to go to shows - Wicked, Avenue Q, maybe Equus (or as I like to call it - "Harry Potter and the Wang of Destiny"). I will be very excited to see the public markets and gardens - that's what I loved about Europe when I was a kid - the greenery, the history, the texture and the way that life operates on this completely different wavelength than America and especially Central Florida, where I have spent my entire developmental life.

Be certain I will be online, posting pictures, videos and Twitters whenever possible. I'll drink a pint for you. Cheers!
