We went in May and it was a little chilly even then. January will be very cold, and there is so little sunshine, it seems colder than it really is. Take warm clothing!

I just want to warn you that we found NOTHING cheap in London. The food was outrageous everywhere, except the pubs were the cheapest. Our hotel was pretty expensive too, so I can't help much in that area. We stayed never Grosvenor Square (sp.), which was an easy walk to Buckingham and Bond Street Station to jump on the tube and go all over London.

I was researching our tickets to London and India, 1/3 of the fare/price goes for taxes, Baby David's ticket amounts to about $200, then add about $400 in taxes, fees, etc.

The airlines might go under, but the governemnt is doing very well.

Thanks to CCI who directed me to a website that helps folks bid on priceline.com, we got reservations to stay at the Marriot, sorry I tried the best to stay at something more English, but with small bedrooms, older furnishings we needed something bigger, we will be traveling with David and 4-5 suitcases.

It puts us downtown near Hyde Park so we are within distance of a lot of stuff to do.

The airfare cost $2100 for 3 of us all the way to India, but then add $1900 in taxes and fees, very expensive to travel overseas these days. David's portion was only about about $250, then $700 in fees, CRAZY!

Maine?

You want to die of boredom?

Jet Blue flys to Portland, Maine.

As well does United and Usair.

After doing this, if I were to do it on regular basis, I can see the benefit of a private jet thing. Hey, maybe I need to start preaching prosperity.

Uh... no. I doubt the tickets would come close to buying the fuel for a private jet. And on the second point... I would prefer you stay Christian!

I wish Keith total success, but if he starts preaching Jesus lived like a high roller and we should too - I am asking for a recall on the PIM money!!!
