While my parents were in Aruba I went to England with a Putney Student free virtual home tours Travel group from the USA. I flew out of New York s JFK to London Heathrow airport on Virgin Atlantic airways . I recommend Virgin Atlantic for long overseas flights for a number of reasons: you get a complimentary meal/drink, pillow and blanket, and all seats have a decent entertainment system with movies, video games and TV episodes. Also the seats are quite comfy.
We landed in London about 6:30 AM GMT. I hardly slept on the plane due to the excitement. I ve always wanted to go to England and finally my dream came true. Once we got through the airport we took a shuttle to downtown London where we had breakfast at a British cafe. I had a traditional English breakfast that consisted of sunny side up eggs, Cumberland sausage, tomato, bacon, free virtual home tours fried mushrooms, toast, and tea. I added a ginger free virtual home tours ale and muffin to go with it. You d think that London would be known for all of its pubs, tea houses and cafes. But in fact London has a lot of international restaurants such as Chinese, Indian, Italian and so on.
After breakfast we took the tube or the underground (The British terms for subway) to the Grims Dyke Hotel , where we would stay for the next few days. I recommend staying here; it s an old fashioned British hotel surrounded by gardens. Its original owner was Sir William Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. The lobby is very well decorated and there is good food and clean rooms. However the rooms require you to put your key card in a wall slot for the electricity to work. Other than that I enjoyed my stay. When we finally arrived at our hotel we were all so tired that we crashed in our rooms for about three hours before we went back downtown to see Billy Elliot. You can t go the UK without going to see at least one play. Throughout history England has been known for its theatre and all the plays I saw in London were amazing. As well as the Billy Elliot play, I saw The Lion King and The Mousetrap. The Mousetrap was my favorite a murder mystery in London set in the early 1950 s. It has been in production since 1959. We went to see performance number 24,431.
Other London sites we saw that you can t miss included Buckingham Palace, Big Ben (the name of the big bell inside the clock tower not the tower itself) , Tower Bridge (often called London Bridge by tourists) , the London Eye  (an observation wheel built to mark the millennium) free virtual home tours , The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul s Cathedral and the Royal Museum. On our last day in London we took a duck bus tour around downtown London and the Thames River. Sights included MI6, the real London Bridge and the houses of Parliament.The duck bus has a special history- it was used during the D Day invasion of World War 2. Seeing parts of London from the Thames was a real bonus.
I've been all over the world – to all continents but Antarctica and to a grand total of 53 countries. I've always got some sort of an adventure free virtual home tours planned – even if it's only a weekend. I thrive free virtual home tours on change and travel provides that.

Saskatoon took me aback. I figured since it was a prairie city, seemingly in the middle of nowhere that there would be a backwoods feel to the whole food scene. But was I ever wrong. Saskatoon is a city of great restaurants. Within an hour of landing I was enjoying a fantastic lunch at Souleio free virtual home tours s on [ ]
