Note: I'm saddened to report that unlike Boston there will NOT be limo rides from the hotel to pub this time. Sorry - london limo's are really really high priced. (maybe we can find a limo affiliate somewhere ;) Also, you may wish to wait 24hrs to book a room at the hotel until the conference rate goes into effect.

Hmm.... *opens wallet, moths fly out; swats at moths*
Think I can get my boss to pay for my trip? Oh sure. I'll graft some wings onto some pigs while I'm at it.
*sigh*
Someone have a pint or three for me?

Right now fares from Los Angeles to Heathrow are under $450. That's for direct non-stop flights on major airlines. >>will NOT be limo rides I didn't rate a ride in the limo. ;) I went to the pub on that little mini-bus and was perfectly happy with it. Added:
It might be nice to have a mini-bus if a group decides to go on a "short walk" shopping trip - just in case ciml needs another new shirt. Warning:
The Brit version of a short walk is across town. If you spot engine in front of a group of people holding a map, watch out. [edited by: Marcia at 7:13 pm (utc) on July 23, 2003]

Does the Thistle have high speed access? I'm sure it does, since it's our base, but I just wanted to check as I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. Added:
Yes, they do. I found it. Added:
For Cleveland folks, CO has a non-stop to Gatwick for $533. Air Canada can do it for $480, but you'll have to transfer at Toronto. [edited by: bakedjake at 7:48 pm (utc) on July 23, 2003]

I'm gonny pull of arms and legs to get there. It'll be hard for me, so what should a first timer know to make the most of it? Should I start undusting my old lappy and loading it full with my stuff, or should I come with pen and paper ready t otake notes, or simply with booze money? Please advise :) SN

Scratch pad? PDA! Look like a real geek, for goodness sake. ;) I'm thinking of picking up a propeller beanie... hehehehe CAMERA! Especially if it's your first time to London. I'm looking at picking up a new one just for this trip. (Bring a bottle of vitamins and aspirin if you're inclined to over-indulge. You'll thank yourself in the mornings.)

Yeah, americans found it rather small and grotty but the brits were relatively happy.... It's okay as long as you only want to sleep in the room rather than live in it. Very accomodating Bar staff.. Nick

As soon as BT sounded the Bugle, i ran to the shops to pick up a four pack for this evenings revelations. Ah one evening the men's toilets at the thistle was desecraited with Puck, we could never quite figure out who it was, though there were suspicions, a bit to much beer possibly
