Baxter’s Trip to London 2012

Baxter Returns

Yup it’s that time again when I decide on 10 places to travel and narrow it down to one. Although I was just in London in 2010 I’m heading back…why? Because the Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio Tour opens April 1st so you gotta do what you gotta do. My last London trip included a stop in Durham (part of Potter was filmed there) and Alnwick (yup Potter filmed there too). So I’m back, got my tickets to the studio for May 28th and lo and behold a British Airways seat sale was on. Now I got me my airline tickets and Harry Potter tickets and am trying out a new company called Onefinestay that finds you a pretty house to stay in. Fingers crossed it will be near the Bond Street Tube station. So far they are super prompt in getting back to me and now I just await the confirmation of which house I’m in.

 

Since this new company is so new they aren’t anywhere like Trip Advisor or Fodors, I’ll let you know how it goes with them. I always rent me a house because it’s way more fun than a hotel and you can pack half the luggage as you have your own washer/dryer and full kitchen (so meals are cheap). My favourite houses so far was one in Alnwick (1/2 a block from the castle) and another in Ireland. I even had a villa in Barbizon, France (what a crazy adventure that was).

 

So the countdown begins, 6 months from now I’ll be in the air on the way to Heathrow in my upgraded seat. My first ever trip on British Airways. Please no volcanic ash this time though it made for some interesting London pictures with that dark sky and bright sun.
