Today's the day

We are off to London today. We hear the weather is improving but still in the 60s. And perhaps overcast with rain. So raincoats and brellies will be taken by all.

Most of us are traveling together and will meet at the airport for drinks and a bite to eat. Tomorrow we will take a walk near our hotel on Park Lane, get some rest, and meet at the bar around 6:00pm. Dinner is scheduled for 7:30 at a nearby restaurant.

You can see our location on the map insert.

A quote from someone who stayed here recently. "We stayed at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House for 3 days and each day was a stay worth remembering. My aunt was with me as a tourist from the Philippines and I didn't made a mistake in choosing this hotel. Aside from having the best location, the people working in the hotel were wonderful. Very courteous and always willing to give a helping hand.

The rooms were immaculate and the breakfast was superb. They even offered us an extra bed in case the need for one arises but the queen size bed was more than enough." And another comment. "Now, let's talk about this bathroom for a second -  namely, the shower.  I have traveled all over this planet, and have stayed in some of the world's best hotels.  Really.

And I can tell you that WITHOUT A DOUBT - this was the best shower EVER.  This shower is everything that would make Nancy Pelosi have a stroke and heart attack simultaneously - as it shoots out more water at you than should be legal.  How  good that water feels - - I do not have the words to describe.  You simply have to try it yourself, with the rainshower head spewing out water at a force even the skies can't duplicate.  Heavenly." Let's hope this is true.

Our walk in the neighborhood will take place tomorrow afternoon. I hope we are ready for it.
