London's
a happening place! If you've never been before and are
planning on arriving early to check it out, try a bus
tour. This way you can go back and hit the highlights
later, possibly, with one of the other fifty one people
you'll meet on this tour.

Our
first meeting as a tour was at the Royal National, Contiki
Headquarters, for introductions and luggage check. As
a single traveler, I kind of felt like a kid at the
first day of camp. Thoughtfully, the tour company decided
to make this gathering during prime happy hours, and
to keep it short. Somebody up there was thinking!

London
Bridges, Changing guards and Big Ben. All awaited my
return to the city on the tail end of my trip. In the
mean time, I had more pressing maters to deal with. I had a new lifestyle of wrinkles and travel size worries,
a new place to go and new things to see. A good night
sleep was planned as my last- precious time abroad,
sleep is last priority.

Bright
and early, biscuit in hand, we started our for the White
Cliffs of Dover. Those tour members who didn't attend
the prior meeting (nothing is mandatory on this trip),
started breaking the ice. By the time we reached the
sea, most everyone has found someone to make a good
impression upon. Regardless, we bordered the ferry like
family, and set out across the channel -- the view at
our backs.
