<< Jeri, you forgot to tell her that if she's going to follow your itinerary in London, she needs to bring a LOT of money! I could spend a fortune in the shops you mention :) Regards, Annette in London ------------ Dear Annette, Yes, these London shops are expensive. A day in London doing almost anything is expensive. Perhaps Loy has never been to London. I took that possibility into consideration, and gave her an area where she will cover a lot of tourist shopping and looking and not have to take a cab or bus. The needlework kits at Liberty of London (top quality) and new books at Hatchard's (widely available) are priced the same everywhere. The memories of the atmosphere in these fine shops are unique and different from what we have in the U.S. Maybe that is what Loy would enjoy; her economic situation was not given. As I think about it - it is not inexpensive to shop in the state of California! There is a reason I put in the suggestion of a snack for the tote bag. I am able to skip meals, but I have traveled with people who cannot do it and sustain energy. When I'm engrossed in new sights and learning opportunities, food is the last thing on my mind. I don't want to stop mid-day for two hours. Faced with a long line for a meal, a snack at hand can be a blessing. It is noon here, and I've forgotten breakfast (again). Always too eager to read what lacemakers across the Big Pond have written while Americans were sleeping.
