Things I Want to Do Before I Leave London

I decided to start a list of things I wanted to do before we left London.  We don't have plans to leave London, but I had one of these lists going senior year at Loyola, and I never completed anything.  

My top two activities on that list were...
  1. Get wasted at Hamiltons (the bar near campus.  I never had a single drink there - but I did have a quesadilla one night)  
  2. Go to a cubs game
It seems those things would be so easy to do.  I don't know why I never did them.  Lame.

So here's my London list.  I've included things I've already done mostly just because it makes me feel better about myself to have things crossed out on my To Do lists.  Please note this is a work in progress and will probably change as things get added so anyone who has been here and has suggestions of things I really need to do then I may add them if I actually like them and want to do them.  Oh and they're in no particular order. 

Things I want To Do Before I Leave London 
  1. Get a puppy and give it a very English name (like Harry or Charles, but I'd call it Charlie) - oh and I want it to be an English puppy - like an English Setter, or Pointer, or Bulldog.  
  2. Take a trip to Paris with Nick
  3. Visit relatives in France (may or may not be in conjunction with trip to Paris)
  4. Go to a comedy show
  5. Go to a night club and rage
  6. Go on a boat tour down the Thames
  7. Go to a Stich 'n' Bitch night
  8. Go to Ireland
  9. Go to Scotland and catch Nessi (OK we didn't catch Nessi, but we did go to Inverness)
  10. Go to Stonehenge (Does anyone know if this is as boring as it looks?  I feel like I should go... but it looks so boring)

  1. went to Bath..a zillion years ago when i lived in London for 3 months, pretty cool stuff. I'm going to try and locate my journal from that time..maybe you can see how many of the things i did are still there, and see the changes if they are. The Blue Elephant Thai restaurant comes to mind, and them serving me fish eyeball soup, just 2 c if i would try it!
