Honeymoon in London!

No, we didn't honeymoon. Yet. We had one perfect night (very tired, but pretty perfect) in the house alone, although we both had work to do and there was an animal scrabbling around under the stairs at the crack of dawn and I saw a rattlesnake and had a million dishes to do. But our time together was peaceful and sweet.

But it looks like London will be a good place for a belated honeymoon trip in the fall. We are not beachy people. I mean, we love sunshine and water and boats and oceans and being by the seaside, but we're not Hawaii/Bermuda/Arruba/Accapulco/Cayman Islands/Caribbean types. Bikinis and beach towels and sunscreen and scuba and sunning on the sand? Not so much either one of us, like, at all.

But Europe? Where the history comes from? London and the sites and the museums and the architecture and the history and the pubs and the theater and the walking and the global cosmopolitan sensation of it all? Yes, please.

We'll use our up-close-and-personal London Connection at Elegant Retreats International to review and book a self-catering holiday apartment in a great location near a tube stop (probably South Kensington? Maybe Chelsea or Knightsbridge? I have always been of the opinion that renting an apartment in London, or any city, really, is so much better than booking hotels for the fact that there's a kitchen, and living room, and autonomy, and the ability to pretend to be a local for the week or weeks we're there. In this case, we'll try to live like a Londoner, really, but without the extreme rent, ha ha.

Itinerary to be determined, but there's no shortage of great stuff to see and to do in London, so now to the fun of planning! All tips/hints/advice is welcome!

Happy travels, mon amies!
