Oh, that sounds fantastic! I am excited for you! I am very happy you want to see the Globe Theatre. I don't know if you could be a writer and NOT be draw there.

I didn't even think about it like that, it just seemed like a place to see, but I suppose you're right. *grins*

congrads - britsh air is having a sale...

Thanks for the info, but I actually already purchased a tour. My friend and I are going in January when it's off season and a bit cheaper. Plus, we both work at the same place and it is off season then, so it's the only time we can both get away. I'm sooooo excited!!

Congrats! I still have yet to get my passport but I plan on sending it out by the end of the month.

I bet you can't wait for January now! :D

I'm very very excited, but unforunately I have to wait. I'm not completely saved up in order to pay for the trip yet. Almost, but not quite yet. But yeah, if money wasn't an issue I'd wish for January to be tomorrow. Forget Christmas this year, I just want winter!! :)

*sigh* I'm so envious - I *miss* England! Maybe next year. *sigh*

Where can I get a TARDIS passport holder? I WANT ONE!

If you have any free time, don't forget Forbidden Planet for DW books and toys and stuff, and all the wonderful bookshops on Charing Cross Road! I once spent an entire day on CC Road visiting bookshop after bookshop after.... well, you get the idea. It was a totally gorgeous day. Me? Bookaholic? Naah. *grin*

I got my passport holder here at North American Who. I don't think they sell them anymore though. You might want to try and google it.

And I will have to try out Forbidden Plannet. Do they have a website? If they do could you send me the link? I've never heard of them before.

Oh, they're a terrific bookstore for everything science fiction. The link is: http://www.forbiddenplanet.com They're a chain around England and there is one in New York City as well. They used to be located on New Oxford Street but moved to Shaftsbury Avenue a while back. I *think* the closest tube station is still Tottenham Court Road, but don't hold me to it. But they should be just a couple blocks off Charing Cross Road, if I remember the area aright.

Also, there's Murder One, which is a terrific mystery bookstore that also does sf. They have new and used stuff. Their link is: http://www.murderone.co.uk
They should be right on Charing Cross Road - actually, if I remember correctly, they're near the corner of CC Rd and Shaftsbury Ave. Again - please check maps. It's been almost ten years since I was last there (sigh).

Have fun!!!!!

ooh! I'm soooo going to have to go there. Thanks so much for letting me know about it.

lol Me and mom were just talking about those today (actually we were talking about it while looking at cruises on the laptop real quick) and I saw this when I snuck onto lj real quick and I was like "Well Sarah got her's in 3 weeks" (of coarse this confused my mom more because I have a cousin sarah)
Just curiously how much did it cost ya?

I got mine at the post office. I don't know if they offer that service at the post offices out where you live, but they might, considering it is a function of the federal government. I think going to the post office to get it is one of the resons it was so fast in comming to me.

I had to write two checks (they only take check or money order). OnNe check was written to the "Postmaster" for $45 that included the processing fee and the $15 photo fee (that you can wave if you bring your own picture, but I thought "why bother"). I then had to write a $67.00 check to the "US Department of State" for the actual passport itself.
