These are the kind of posts I live for:

I'M GOING TO ENGLAND!!

You heard right.  Next month in March, I, along with my guy Dallen, will be heading to Great Britain for 10 days (I wish it were for longer, but unfortunately there's the issues of cost and work, but 10 days is better than none).  Since his sister and brother in law live in Brighton, we'll be staying with them (which also saves us a bank load).

Brighton is situated along the south shore, only about an hour's train ride from London.  It's a dream come true for me to be able to go to England, let alone leave this contient for Europe!  Ultimately, I'd have won the lottery so I could spend blindly in order to see the UK in its entirety, but we'll have to be a bit conservative with our spending habits as the British Pound is pretty much twice the Canadian Dollar.

I hadn't mentioned anything in previous posts as I just couldn't allow myself to believe it was a reality until we booked the tickets.  And today was that day.  We're booked!  I'm a bit beside myself...

I would also like to take this time to thank the person who dumped a perfectly good (circa) 1960 guitar amp in a dumpster in order for Dallen to find it and consequently sell it for the price of our round trip plane tickets.  Bless you, and your loss.
