If I have to live off Ramen for this, I will!

My sister is leaving in September for England, where's she going to be attending Kings College.  I'm hoping that, barring any catastrophes or other unknown illnesses, I'll be able to go visit her around March.  I have the vacation time for it, about 12 days, so I figure 10 days to explore and enjoy.  I fully intend to do a lot of wandering, and hope to get to France and Scotland, though that might be pushing it a bit, lol.  She's probably going to be busy with classes, depending on the time I go to visit, so is anyone interested in meeting up for lunch or something?  I really want to visit the Sherlock Holmes museum, and check out Baker Street, because I am that much of a geek. 

Also, just to meet up with some of you from my flist would be great!  Maybe a mini-Holmes moot?  We can totally geek out together!

Anyway, nothing is definite yet, I still have to wait and work out details with sister.  But I'm getting excited just thinking about it!  Time to really start saving and being frugal.

I believe it's Kings College in London.
Yes!!! That is the best! King's College people are all wonderful ;)

If you can find your way to Cheltenham, which is easy on the bus or the train, then I will do the same as I did with gentle_hobbit and drive you out to pretty places in the Cotswolds, which is to the west of Oxfordshire and definitely qualifies as the Shire - there are lots of places we can go that are very Tolkieny and were probably visited by the man himself - or we could do Oxford, which is about an hour from London on the coach and is definitely Tolkienland!

Although London would be fine, it's good to visit the Alma Mater every now and again so I could always combine the two. Let me know how things look and I will fit around you.

That sounds wonderful! I can do that, and will probably have my sister give me lessons on the tube and bus, lol! I'll know more details once she's actually settled, and the time gets closer.

Count me in too - I live in Oxford so could go in either direction, London or the Cotswolds, if you fancy it!

Oh, that would be fun! The more the merrier!
