Must be that time of the month

London beckons on Friday and i am not the least bit excited. Still ho-humming over the details, contacts in London have been egging me over what I want to do, see, experience while i'm there and i give the same answers i give anyone who has ever gone on travel with me, "Anything lah, i am not fussy." But honestly, i am not a global trekker kind of person. There is no tourist checklist or travel lustfest. I just go there, walk around, find out things by myself and then that's it. Most of the time, i spend hours in some part of town drinking hot cocoa (if the weather is cold of course) and reading mgazines. Tourist hotspots are often overrated. And i certainly would now want to trudge or travel over 3 hours to look at some tree or prison where so and so died.. etc. Very boring stuff. I am more into the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Barcelona's La Ramblas was an example where i "touristed" my way. Just walking, no agenda.. even though the gang did decide to eat at a "real authentic" Spanish tapas restorante to have paella only to be served by a Korean immigrant.

Reaching London on the 3rd and leaving for Paris on the 7th. By the time i get back on the 12th, i would have to pack my bags again for work on the 15th. Need a relaxing holiday. Booked a beach fantasy trip over the Labour Day weekend in May. Would be heading to Manila in April if all goes well. Got an awesome travel companion, a new black Samsonite. Samsonite is a masculine brand right? So does it count as a male travelling companion?
