And I'm heeding the call.
For 12 whole days in April.
Haven't been there since the early '90s. Wow. That's just criminal, isn't it?
Three of those days I need to be at the London Book Fair in Earls Court but the other nine days are completely mine.
Since it's been such a long time I need lots of info and sage guidance...
I'm looking for a cool place to stay that won't break my little piggy bank. Hopefully a place that has internet access. I've heard hotels charge for the internet - if they even have it - for around $22/day. That's like a freaking drug habit. Which is kinda what the internet is, donchya think? And I'm a junkie, so I need access. But I can't pay $22/day for my fix.
In addition to a roof over my head, I'm also looking for cool things to do, cool places to go and cool people to meet. Any suggestions?
And what about a cell phone? My Sprint phone doesn't get service in the UK. How easy is it and how much does it cost to rent a phone over there? Or should I just make my move to an iPhone right now?
Anybody want to throw a book party? I'll bring the books.
If you have suggestions feel free to leave a public comment or shoot me a private-type email to info@cheshercat.com. I'm looking forward to your ideas.
Hey, this used to be my national anthem too.

I have no hotel advice, because the film fest always pays for that, but internet....
Last time I was there, I found some coffee house (may have been Cafe Nero chain) that had an internet provider that was cheap...
But usually in London I end up in an Easy Internet place and use their grungy computers (hand sanitizer is required). It's on a sliding scale by demand, but at off peak hours you can usually get a full hour for 2 pounds - which is a zillion times cheaper than the Kinkos down the street from you in the USA.
