London here I come…

Bar­bara (one of my sis­ters) is in Lon­don at the moment. She has been for a lit­tle over 2 months. Since she left Mum has been talk­ing say­ing that we should all go over and vis­it her for Christ­mas. I was­n’t too sure how seri­ous Mum was until she bought tick­ets for her­self, Dad, my oth­er sis­ters, and me.
We’re going to Lon­don for a month. God help the brits.
So all my plans to pay off my debuts and get my life into order just went out the win­dow. I have two friends say­ing that if I’m going to be in Lon­don then I MUST go to Paris for a week­end at least, like there wont be enough to do in the UK. I have two friends say­ing that a month isn’t long enough, and I should try and draw out my trip as long as pos­si­ble, like I could ever be sat­is­fied and see it all.
And I’ve got no fuck­ing idea how I’m going to do any of this, and why sud­den­ly every­one thinks they know what is best.
I want to go to Ire­land. I could eas­i­ly spend the whole month in a pub in a small coun­try town in Ire­land.
I want to do the things that tourist don’t do.
I want… lots of things… still work­ing on the list.

  1. we’re all just back­seat trav­ellers. you can just ignore us if you so choose. How one trav­els is a per­son­al choice.
    You say you want to do things that tourists don’t do. Do you also not want to do what the locals do?
    I’m inter­est­ed to see your list. And will try to resist the temp­ta­tion to offer unprompt­ed trav­el advice.

  2. I’ve spent a year in Ire­land, and still nev­er man­aged to find a good coun­try pub. Mind you, I’ve only bare­ly stepped out­side Dublin.
    I can point you at some good Huevos Rancheros though.
